From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What I've read looks good but it's going to need a track record of reliability before I'd trust it.
That's why kernel inclusion is so important: People can start testing it without jumping through hoops of manually patching and compiling the kernel.
Curious too. I tried running bcachefs last year and with the combination of compression and encryption everything ended up corrupted very very fast.
Did you find the root cause of the corruption?
It was a known bug, I assume it is fixed now that Linus merged it.
Why? BTRFS never did, and it's used by a lot of people.
