#Linus #Torvalds Expresses His Hatred For #CaseInsensitive #FileSystems - #Slashdot
" Dammit. Case sensitivity is a BUG. The fact that filesystem people *still* think it's a feature, I cannot understand. It's like they revere the old FAT filesystem _so_ much that they have to recreate it — badly."
I do like his direct approach! Even if I grew on #AmigaFFS which was "almost case-insensitive"

linux.slashdot.orgLinus Torvalds Expresses His Hatred For Case-Insensitive File-Systems - SlashdotSome patches for Linux 6.15-rc4 (updating the kernel driver for the Bcachefs file system) triggered some "straight-to-the-point wisdom" from Linus Torvalds about case-insensitive filesystems, reports Phoronix.

Linus Torvalds has proper motivated reasons for really disliking file systems without a case sensitivity.

Read this with me from the kernel lkml, regarding bcachefs.

The image shows a screenshot of an email from the Linux kernel mailing list archive. The email is from Linus Torvalds, dated Thursday, April 24, 2025, at 21:20:53 -0700. The subject of the email is "Re: [GIT PULL] bcachefs fixes for 6.15-rc4." The email is addressed to Kent Overstreet and includes several CC recipients, including the Linux kernel mailing list. The email discusses case-insensitive directory fixes and expresses a strong opinion against them. Linus Torvalds states that the only lesson to be learned is that filesystem people never learn, and that case-insensitive names are "horribly wrong" and should not have been implemented in the first place. The problem, according to Torvalds, was not the lack of testing but the implementation itself. The email is displayed in a terminal-like interface with a black background and white text, and includes options for search, help, and color settings. The bottom of the screen shows a navigation bar with a home icon, a lock icon, a document icon, and a number "30" in a box, indicating the number of unread messages.

[Перевод] Линус Торвальдс жёстко разнёс регистронезависимые ФС

Линус Торвальдс сегодня в привычной для себя прямой и резкой манере высказался о файловых системах с поддержкой case folding (регистронезависимых файлов и папок). Поводом послужила проблема с поддержкой case folding в Bcachefs, обнаруженная на этой неделе и уже имеющая фикс для Linux 6.15. Линус написал огромное сообщение в рассылке разработчиков Linux (LKML), изложив своё мнение о реализации case folding. Стоит отметить, что проблема с case folding в Bcachefs — не первая для Linux: ранее уже возникали баги, связанные с обработкой эмодзи и других специальных символов Unicode.

#LinusTorvalds built #Git in 10 days - and never imagined it would last 20 years
In a mere 10 days, he developed a working version of Git, which was first committed on April 7, 2005. Of course, he'd been thinking about it for a while. BitKeeper conflict had been brewing almost since the start. In a recent GitHub interview, #Torvalds had been facing a question, "How do I do something that works even better than BitKeeper does but doesn't do it the way BitKeeper does it?"

#Linux #Kernel6.14:

Neue #Features und #Leistungsverbesserungen.

Linus #Torvalds hat die offizielle Verfügbarkeit des #LinuxKernels6.14 bekannt gegeben. Die neueste Version bringt zahlreiche Verbesserungen und spannende Neuerungen mit sich, insbesondere für Gamer und Nutzer von Wine. Ein neuer NT-Synchronisationstreiber reduziert den Overhead bei der Emulation von Windows Programmen unter Linux. Dadurch laufen Windows-Spiele flüssiger und mit weniger Verzögerung.

Beaucoup ont suivi ces derniers jours les déboires #Rust4Linux, le ras-le-bol public (justifié, à mon sens...) de Hector Martin (qui a supprimé son compte Mastodon, d'où tout était parti). Il était le lead dev du super projet @AsahiLinux, et a abandonné toute fonction au sein du kernel et de celui-ci (son blogpost sur le sujet : marcan.st/2025/02/resigning-as). L'un des catalyseurs de cette démission était la réponse de Linus #Torvalds, qui a choisi de défendre ses mainteneurs sans prendre en compte les réels problèmes remontés, depuis déjà des années, par les gens essayant concrètement d'intégrer #Rust au kernel (voir sa réponse à un message de Hector Martin : lkml.org/lkml/2025/2/6/1292).

Aujourd'hui, @gregkh nous livre ce que je considère être un modèle de leadership, et nous prouve à nouveau en quoi il ne vole pas sa place de n°2 de #Linux. Une réponse mesurée, qui ne jette personne sous le bus, mais qui essaye d'emmener la communauté vers plus de *goodwill* envers Rust dans Linux. Si ce message ne convainc pas les mainteneurs concernés d'arrêter de mettre des bâtons dans les roues de Rust dans Linux, je pense que rien ne le fera. Son message : lore.kernel.org/rust-for-linux

📰 ""Wypalenie" w społeczności open source jest kwestią długotrwałą i można je przypisać dość oczywistym źródłom stresu, takim jak przemoc słowna, brak uznania dla pracy wolontariackiej lub przeciążenie pracą. Może to być również skomplikowane, szczególnie w zakresie, w jakim interakcje online stają się osobiste i przeplatają się z codziennym życiem."
