WD_BLACK SN8100 2TB PCIe Gen 5.0 NVMe SSD Linux Benchmarks
Sandisk earlier this month announced the WD_BLACK SN8100 as what they claim is the current world’s fastest PCIe Gen 5.0 NVMe SSD for consumers. Given how well the WD_BLACK SN850X performs under Linux as a PCIe Gen 4.0 drive, I decided to buy a WD_BLACK SN8100 for some Linux testing at Phoronix to compare to various other drives in the lab. Here is a preliminary look at the WD_BLACK SN8100 2TB performance under Ubuntu Linux.

[$] Out of Pocket and into the wallabag
Mozilla has decided to throw in
the towel on Pocket, a social-bookmarking
service that it acquired in 2017. This has left many users scrambling
for a replacement for Pocket before its shutdown in July. One possible
option is wallabag, a
self-hostable, MIT-licensed project for saving web content for later
reading. It can import saved data from services like Pocket, share
content on the web, export to various formats, and more. Even better,
it puts users in control of their data long-term.
Radeon Software For Linux Dropping AMD’s Proprietary OpenGL/Vulkan Drivers
With how well the open-source and upstream AMD Radeon Linux graphics driver stack is these days between the mainline Linux kernel and Mesa, the Radeon Software for Linux packaged driver releases are not usually notable these days on Phoronix… The packaged Radeon Software for Linux drivers haven’t been popular with gamers/enthusiasts in years given how good the upstream support is and those packaged bits mostly useful for those just running enterprise Linux distributions with older versions of Linux and Mesa. But the next Radeon Software for Linux packaged driver release is set to introduce a big change…

[$] The first half of the 6.16 merge window
As of this writing, 5,546 non-merge changesets have been pulled into the mainline
kernel repository for the 6.16 release. This is a bit less than half of the
total commits for 6.15, so the merge window is well on its way. Read on for our
summary of the first half of the 6.16 merge window.

[$] Block-layer bounce buffering bounces out of the kernel
As the end of the 1990s approached, a lot of kernel-development effort was
going into improving support for 32-bit systems
with shockingly large amounts of memory installed. This being the 1990s,
having more than 1GB of memory in such a system was deemed to be shocking.
Many of the compromises made to support such inconceivably large systems
have remained in the kernel to this day. One of those compromises —
bounce buffering of I/O requests in the block layer — has finally been
eased out for the 6.16 release, more than a quarter-century after its
introduction.
