I would not use btrfs as an example, because btrfs still doesn't have stable RAID5/6 support after 15 years, nor to say RAIDZ.

I used to...

[zxy_thf]

Well that's not even third...The L4 family has much larger number of deployments (all newer iOS devices, base stations, etc)...

[zxy_thf]

Actually they aren't.
Thanks to Intel's market segmentation, we will be able to buy new Pentiums/Celerons/Atoms w/o AVX2 support for the next decade(s)....

[zxy_thf]

You need a newer kernel (cannot remember the exact version, but CentOS 7 doesn't have it and Ubuntu 18.04 has)....

The processor design have...

[zxy_thf]

Not a hardware guy, but the first prerequisite (Incorrect transient forwarding) already sounds crazy to me.
What the h*** are they doing inside...

[zxy_thf]

of showing your ignorance of mainframe and fanboism of cloud?...

[zxy_thf]

Totally agree.

A fundamental limitation of X11 is GPU was not present (or more precisely, not available for general public) during the design...

[zxy_thf]
