www.phoronix.com

Ted Ts’o sent out the EXT4 updates today for Linux 6.11. He explained in that pull request:

“Many cleanups and bug fixes in ext4, especially for the fast commit feature. Also some performance improvements; in particular, improving IOPS and throughput on fast devices running Async Direct I/O by up to 20% by optimizing jbd2_transaction_committed().”

    apt

    Apt can be improved with frontends and it doesn’t take 10 minutes to sync the repos.

    zypper

    Idk much about it but I heard it’s slow too.

    But I’m not sure if I understand. Is it because Anaconda does not walk you (explicitly) through all parts of the installation (at least by default)?

    Yes.

    And, instead, chooses to give the user an overview (at some point) in which the user is expected to go over each one of them by themselves.

    Yea even archinstall might be better than this design lol.

    less recent

    X11. Though I don’t remember if they decided to drop it before explicit sync was introduced for NVidia drivers or after.

      nala is indeed pretty cool.

      Thank you for clarifying/confirming the parts related to how Fedora’s installation is confusing.

      Totally forgot about this one. Blame AMD 😛. Thank you for correcting me!
