🚀 Blosc2 supports memory-mapped files for super-efficient data access! 🚀

✨ Why memory-mapping?
1️⃣ No system call overhead for each read/write
2️⃣ Data goes straight from page cache to user space—much faster than traditional I/O!

Why #Linux is Great (Despite the Challenges)

Linux gives you #freedom, #control, and #performance — even for #gaming. With tools like #Proton, #Wine, and #Lutris, thousands of #Windows games now run smoothly on Linux.

You get a #fast, #secure, and #customizable system without background bloat or forced #updates. Sure, setup can be tricky at first, and not every title works perfectly out of the box. But the learning curve pays off: you gain real control over your system and understand how it works.

The #community is active and helpful, and performance often matches or even beats Windows in some games. Once you're in, there's no going back.

Linux makes gaming smarter, cleaner, and yours.

You had to be there or tuned in. 📻

“Around 10:20 p.m. on Saturday night, a shadowy group of figures walked onto the #FarmAid stage at the Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, #Indiana.

This was supposed to be the moment where #WilleNelson wrapped up the night, but there was no sign of the Red Headed Stranger or his band. Instead, another act was plugging in instruments on the darkened stage.

There was no announcement of any kind, and the large screens on both sides of the stage went completely blank for the first time all day. It took about 15 seconds for the screams to start once the light hit the face of the guy in the middle.”

Recently #linux #CachyOS jumped to the no.1 spot on distrowatch.

I've followed this distro with slight curiosity for a while, their big selling point being #performance which is always nice.

..and a mighty good argument using it for #linuxaudio

Does someone have experience with this distro, spesifically used for audio / music production ?

I gotta admit, it sure looks tempting!

They ship custom kernel builds. One of them is targeting AMD Zen 4 which I have, so yea... exciting
