FreeBSD, GhostBSD, NomadBSD, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, KDE Plasma

＂A concise comparison of operating systems. Some focus on root-on-ZFS, and on Plasma. Not intended to be comprehensive.＂
Today's comment notes that the FreeBSD Installer for 15.0-RC2 is broken for installation of non-base packages. Only one more release candidate is expected, so I doubt that this regression will be fixed.
I should probably add something about the installer for Ubuntu providing OpenZFS-native encrypted root-on-ZFS.

#Linux 6.18 Will Further Complicate Non-#GPL Out-Of-Tree #FileSystems
A patch queued up for Linux 6.18 merge window removes #write_cache_pages. In turn this will cause issues for #nonGPL out-of-tree file-systems for writing dirty data from the page cache. After the #NTFS3 and #Bcachefs in-tree users of the iterator were moved off of it, for Linux 6.18 the "write_cache_pages" will be removed that is depended upon by out-of-tree, non-GPL file-systems.

Arch Linux на ZFS для людей: новый TUI-установщик archinstall_zfs
Установка Arch Linux на ZFS всегда была не очень тривиальным делом: нужно знать много тонкостей, прочитать кучу статей и различные вики, разобраться с флагами создания датасетов и пула, с конфигурацией initramfs и с тем, какие systemd сервисы стоит включать, с параметрами командной строки ядра и правильными конфигами. Если ставить вручную, то установка занимает целый вечер, с вдумчивым раскуриванием мануалов перед черной консолью. А можно ли проще?

I would really like to get off of OWC's SoftRAID because they seem to have problems with Apple's OS migrations, and they want an absurd amount of money for the subscription when they don't fix crashing bugs that have been around for years.
I'm considering running OpenZFS in an Ubuntu VM on my M4 Mac mini only because I've heard the macOS version requires a kext, which Apple is trying to kill off, and SIP changes.

I've been studying fsync() for a couple of years and I thought I'd seen every weird way that it could be used and misused, but this week I learned of one more that exists in the wild: if the program crashes between write() and fsync(), on restart, fsync() after open() to ensure those writes are on disk.
I am pretty sure this doesn't do what people think it does, and here's why:

@nixCraft nearly all suitably encrypted. No FDE.
OpenZFS encryption for:
* the sensitive part of a mobile hard disk drive
* three low-spec USB memory sticks that add around 145 GiB persistent removable L2ARC to a circa 2014 HP ZBook with 32 G memory and a ~1 TB internal HDD.
GELI for 16 G swap.
GELI for 915 G /
tmpfs for /tmp/
<https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/10256>
「… blocks in the L2ARC have the exact same on-disk representation as they do in the main pool. …」
geli(8) <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=geli&sektion=8&manpath=freebsd-release> – automatically configured when FreeBSD was installed.
tmpfs(4) <https://man.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=tmpfs&sektion=4&manpath=freebsd-current> (FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT)

As #Ubuntu approaches its 20th anniversary, some more of its pieces may be Snapping together It uses its own #LXD containervisor to manage nodes and workloads, #Ceph for distributed storage, #OpenZFS for local storage, and #OVN to virtualize the cluster interconnect. All the tools are packaged as snaps. It supports both x86-64 and Arm64 nodes, including #RaspberryPi, and you can mix architectures! https://www.theregister.com/2023/11/16/canonical_microcloud/ -
CW: Honest Q about Unix vs Linux
@uma @kaleb_haugen "does not have any kind of upstream code" is not true. Every #BSD system includes *some* software in its base that's pulled from some other party. E.g. #FreeBSD has #OpenZFS, #Heimdal, #LLVM and #OpenSSL in its base, to name just a few.
But then, these aren't just "packaged", they're pulled into the single source repository from which the system is built and care is taken they integrate "perfectly".
