Ughhh I really need to write a proper APFS driver for Linux that's not trash, it'd be such a good rootfs

@Lunaphied hm yeah given that:

• zfs = literally hyperfine on nix has such inconsistent perf that it is not usable for benchmarking

• btrfs = kinda clownshoes and doesnt have zfs tooling

• bcachefs = why are fs developers absolute dick heads

yeah

@leftpaddotpy like, Apple handed us a good file system design for an SSD optimized COW file system with some useful and novel features that could be implemented and we're just. not taking advantage of that in favor of other options.

Besides ZFS is way overkill for a laptop or typical desktop. I don't even know where btrfs is at, it's reputation seems permanently in the trash and you'd think someone would've focused on fixing that and meanwhile I know literally nothing about bcachefs in practice, it feels like it came out of nowhere and tbh the name is bad because it sounds like it's entirely for caching and not suitable as a rootfs

@Lunaphied the filesystem being overkill is not a bad thing. having a good filesystem scale down to desktop use cases is super useful and enables stuff like natively being able to send backups off site as snapshots, which is awesome.

@Lunaphied i don't understand why, given that it has been extremely well used. that's i guess the main reason that like, zfs coming from high end use cases is super nice: this stuff has been well used.

you still probably want a secondary backup to a different fs to make fs bugs survivable though.
