    Microsoft is killing Windows 10 and for many countries and users, updates will stop today. It is time to look for options.@brucelawson has a suggestion for you. IMHO there are many Linux distributions to choose between and you will need to choose the one that works best for you.I recently switched to Linux as my primary platform myself.My plea, however, to the Linux community is to make it easy for people to switch to Linux, but also to make it easy to switch window managers, key chains and the like. I switched to Ubuntu myself and I am finding certain things with Gnome were a pain. Thus I tried switching to KDE, but found that broke a lot of things. IMHO we should strive to make it easy for users to switch between window managers and desktops as well as applications, without breaking things. That requires the different players to work together to ensure that switching from one desktop to another, for example, does not need to mean loosing passwords. Locking in is one of the things Big Tech is known for. Linux should not have that, IMHO.#Windows #Windows10 #Linux #computing #Technology https://brucelawson.co.uk/2025/goodbye-windows-10-hello-zorin-os/

    @stefano, I just watched the recording of Patrick Hausen's @EuroBSDCon distributed storage session and at the end of the session somebody said you might have compared #SeaweedFS with #Garage and that you found SeaweedFS more suitable.

    @hnygd @EuroBSDCon Yes, I talked to Patrick about it shortly after his talk. Basically, I tested both Garage and SeaweedFS in parallel (on the same host) using the BSD Cafe media use case (a huge number of small files). I used rclone to copy data from the Minio instance I was using to both systems. After the first 60 GB, Garage started using all CPU cores and slowed down significantly - to the point that, over an entire night, it copied only a few gigabytes while completely saturating the machine’s CPU resources. SeaweedFS, on the other hand, maintained consistent performance throughout the process. The approach of using "append-only" volumes and small index files is probably better suited for this kind of workload. I was also contacted by some Garage developers who suggested trying the latest versions (which I’ll do as soon as I can), and I’m curious to see if things have improved. I really like Garage and would love to use it more.

    Unix philosophy reminder: Do one thing well. BastilleBSD keeps that spirit alive by automating FreeBSD jails cleanly. Small tools, composable power. What’s your favorite "do one thing well" tool?#FreeBSD #BastilleBSD #UNIX
