@riceandcha @system76 Because COSMIC was initially based on GNOME (like MATE is a fork of GNOME 2), but System76 wanted to build their own DE in Rust while keeping the same familiar look of the previous GNOME-based COSMIC.

@9to5linux Thanks folks for the hard work!

@9to5linux Didn't think I'd perk up here, but "the XFS file system received autonomous self-healing support" caught my attention.Alright. I've read about it now. A lot of people are going to read this as "now competitive with ZFS" but it's just metadata, not data, and I see nothing about redundancy and using that for healing.The first versions of Stratis docs dangled competitiveness with ZFS in front of us - actual self-healing of data given redundant sources - but that never materialized.I'm sticking with ZFS, but the world would be better with more filesystems that do actual self-healing of corrupted data.
