And gamers, the group of consumers known for their patience, will wait for the stock to be refilled in a month or so rather than making the scalpers worth their efforts.

The fallout for people knowingly risking their data beta testing a filesystem that is still in experimental and some users running into issues and possibly corruption?

There are no stories because it is not a story when a test environment for finding bugs fails and the bugs get fixed. Nobody with data they can not lose are putting it on bcachefs because why would they.

Thanks for running a test environment though. Please take backups of anything important, just in case.

That the developer himself finds it absolutely necessary to push new code outside the window for upcoming versions of the kernel is a pretty good indication.

It was nowhere close to be mature enough to be in the kernel. The developer is nowhere close to be mature enough to be involved in the kernel. It’s better for everybody if it is developed separately and maybe integrated again at a later stage when the file system and tooling are considered stable and changes are smaller and less sensitive. CacheFS being in the kernel might mislead people to rely on a filesystem that is still experimental and under heavy development. Personally I am looking forward to see it mature because I’d love to run it on my file storage home server when it is stable enough.

Install both, let her try them out and decide for herself.

If you think so and that this is important, maybe you could be the one that makes it happen. Start a project and gather like-minded people. That is how Linux, FOSS and community driven efforts operate. It’s useless to complain that nobody else makes the effort if you have the capabilities but can’t be arsed making an attempt yourself.

There is no authority delegating responsibilities of writing tutorials for Linux. It is the responsibility of nobody and everybody. If you can’t find one for your problem, write it yourself when you have figured it out.

For every change there is an angry Linux user. Even when it is easily disabled and never a problem again.

On the flip side - how often do you install new programs so this becomes an annoyance in the first place?

I install something new maybe once a month or less for desktop use. I have not even noticed this blip.

Somewhat more often in and for terminal use.

Hey OP, you were released today with performance gains!

Ha, gotchem. The drive by compliment strikes again.

I’m in the same position. I’ve got several paid VST that I’d like to use in Reaper on Linux but haven’t gotten around trying to fiddle about when the installer fails. Not very experienced with Wine and quirks.

Somebody told me I’d be easier off getting installer free cracked versions of the software I already paid for but idk about malware and such in pirated software nowadays. Is it possible to containerize VSTs so they have access to nothing but their instance of Wine?

I remember expanding my Amiga with 512KB to 1MB Fast RAM and later going crazy with another two megabyte Slow RAM.

That floppy begs to be copied.

And the message “DON’T PANIC” in big friendly letters.

Linux still sometimes brings me back to the C64 and Amiga days and and nights of fiddling and figuring things out. Learning experiences and fun times.

Variants and derivates of Debian on my servers and other headless devices because no reason except I know it, it is stable, it works.

Been trying linux for desktop every five-ten years for the last twenty odd years and went back to Windows every time because it was too bad experience despite I really tried to like it.

Except this time.

Fedora KDE on my laptop, soon on my stationary as well. No more Windows for me.

Another potential cause for random slowdown, errors and crashes could be overheating. Check that the fans are spinning and airflow is unobstructed. I don’t remember from the top of my head and I’m not near a computer but maybe somebody else remembers his to check that all sensors are detected and operational.

Then we do not agree at all. I think key is to help people to help themselves to learn, sometimes by telling them to figure it out themselves when you know it is something that is an easy peasy figure for anybody that actually makes an attempt at it. Not to provide answers until you feel the community is big enough to not accept slop any more because arbitrary feels and then abandon ship. And who are you to decide and tell people to leave, me now and others later? Putting on some tall horse big balls pants there my dude community boss.

Btw, none of this is what enshittification means, just for your information. And as a gift, I bestow upon you this quest to learn what it actually means, all by yourself! It will provide you with knowledge and skills to carry for the rest of your life. Yay! You may now downvoted because I made you pissy, but sometimes getting pissy is required for personal growth.

Following your speculative reasoning - sure, until this forum too much like any other before it becomes swamped with non questions like this and becomes heavily moderated by necessity and users like yourself are upset that moderators are not doing their non paid volunteer work and then for doing it.
