For me, I really want to get into niri, but the lack of XWayland support scares me (I know there’s solutions, but I don’t understand them yet).

Also, I stopped using Emacs (even though I love its design and philosophy with my whole heart) because it’s very slow, even as a daemon.

    The tiered storage stuff is pretty cool. You can say “I want this data on this disk, so if I get a cache miss from a faster disk/RAM it’ll come from this other disk first.”

    I believe it also has some interesting ways of handling redundancy like erasure coding, and I thiiiink it does some kind of byte-level deduplication? I don’t know if that’s implemented or is even still planned, but I remember being quite excited for it. It was supposed to be dedupe without all of the hideous drawbacks that things like ZFS dedupe have.

    EDIT: deduplication is absolutely not a thing yet. I don’t know if it’s still on the roadmap.

    EDIT: Erasure coding is deffo implemented, however.
