The new method allows access using standard memory semantics instead of as a block device, drastically improving performance.

    You know it’s getting weird out there when Meta seems to be doing something that’s actually useful.

      They’ve been doing useful engineering things since the start, it’s just that it pales in comparison to all the bad things

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.
