I wish Microsoft adopted and upstreamed changes to OpenZFS instead of duplicating all this effort.
Though then I'm sure they would tell the community to fuck off by trying to take over the entire project and pushing the actually open and compatible version out of favour.
Problem is Microsoft has zero interest in zfs. Not even as far as answering questions the openzfs windows dev asks them.
Does Windows support any filesystems that don't suck?
It could be Sco vs Linux all over again
Just like systemd is experiencing right?
eh, I was thinking like Google and that open chat protocol.
Though I do dislike some of systemd's architecture decisions as well. Like why tha fuck can I not turn off it's own built in authentication to sudo mechanism -_-
I agree but just don't otherwise understand why Microsoft is so obsessed with extending system in the manner they currently are
