From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Bcachefs making progress towards getting included in the kernel. My dream of having a Linux native RAID5 capable filesystem is getting closer to reality.

Reminds me of my older asus laptop - it had larger 512GB SSD and another intel optane 32gb ssd for cache.

I used to install OS to that intel optane drive (not enough for Windows lol), and used bigger ssd for /home.

With this feature - i think i could have a "single" disk for everything. :) so that's another use case for you.
