WTF are you talking about? This is an article about the kernel, specifically filesystems.

I can read gnome article earlier than this one from twitter link. But there's no forum section for gnome article by that time. And gnome article only have forum a while after this article came out, so i can't FUD earlier. That's why I'm here.

XFS & EXT4 are the only file-systems I would recommend.

For me, is Btrfs in everywhere. hehehe

How fast are we talking about? I recently switched to XFS (on my new PC) for the first time ever and it's already much, much faster compared to EXT4. In fact, it's almost *too* fast. So am I even going to notice the difference when 5.17 lands?

Without CoW extents, would you even notice a change in the processing speed of such extents...

Looks like articles about gnome are held back. Why is that?

For me it's Ext4, F2FS, and ZFS; or simple stuff, specific media, advanced stuff. For simple stuff, XFS and Ext4 are basically tied in my mind.

Well, I'd suggest and use Reiser4/5 for simple stuff if it had better support; was in-kernel. Michael, I don't know if you are aware of this, but the ass-end of the Wikipedia page for Reiser4 is them writing about your assumptions.

Nah, I'm cool with my f2fs on my SSDs.

Obviously it is a conspiracy against GNOME, Phoronix is a well-known KDE shill after all.
