I notice odd things.

For example, I can't help but notice the We Are Hiring! sign. It says "Join a double unicorn". Pedantic, but that should be a "Join a bicorn".

"Bicorn" wouldn't mean anything for most of the audience. Unicorn on the other hand is a very well recognized term in this context.

And this, kids, is why you want to add "/j" or "/s" after a joke.

I still haven't figured out where and how it currently applies, or if I can apply it myself.

For instance in place of epoll() (liburing-dev), but it's far more complicated, you won't find stackoverflow pre-existing answers to your io_uring issues and you won't see any difference because your use case likely isn't doing hard core polling.

PS: The most annoying thing about the phoronix forum is that by default it tries to paste "rich text" which ALWAYS makes things horrible and I have to delete, paste elsewhere, copy as "simple text" then paste here again.

PS2: Firefox doesn't have a "paste simple text" like Chrome.

When I first saw a mention of this "uring" thing in Linux I thought back to an older implementation of "uring"...in a James Bond movie. Goldfinger, if I am not mistaken.

For the ones who are interested in the changes like me, checkout the slodes here https://kernel.dk/axboe-kr2022.pdf which provides explanation to the newly added features.

But I understand they have found a use for it in Win11. So in Linux there is no use for desktop only?
