I know what BCacheFS is, but in that headline I genuinely read BCA Chefs

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.

I legitimately do this every time. I seem to be simply unable to parse it correctly.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
With the Linux 6.7 merge window having closed on Sunday, here's a recap of all the interesting new features to find with this new kernel.
It's very heavy on new features and in fact the largest kernel merge window ever by size.
Among the many highlights to Linux 6.7 are the Bcachefs file-system being mainlined, Intel Meteor Lake graphics are now considered stable, more Intel Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake enablement, continued work enabling next-gen AMD graphics hardware, NVIDIA GSP support in the Nouveau driver, scheduler improvements, optional support for disabling 32-bit x86 program support at boot time, and Intel Itanium support was removed.
Below is the lengthy feature list for Linux 6.7 meanwhile my focus is now shifting to benchmarking the new kernel over the coming days and weeks.
-
Perf adds support for Zen 4 Unified Memory Controller "UMC" events.
-
MMC is seeing 4~5% better random write performance for systems with Host Software Queue (HSQ) support.
The original article contains 504 words, the summary contains 159 words. Saved 68%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Nice to see Nvidia getting caught up finally. I switched but I have friends I have told to wait on Linux bc they use Nvidia
Nice! Can I format my external HDD with bcachefs and get performance increases for backups? I guess not, right?
Also its probably not supported in GUI partitionmanagers yet
