I suspect the usb storage has a much worse or at least much more variable latency profile. Control frames on usb3 are a whole .125ms apart

If there were a single corporate controlled entry point all these people were funneling into there would be posential for enshittification. Even if a single free vertically integrated project like debian suddenly had the majority of all PC users it would probably be impossible for them to avoid the corruption of money.

I recently wiped my 10yr running windows install that had all manner of shady hacks applied over the years to basically lobotomize it, after a hardware upgrade. As I was wiping I was largely intending to create another “lobotomized” win10 install as the second install on dual boot, but windows on top of everything is known for breaking dual boot.

It’s bits, not bytes. And endianness is a huge consideration in systems programming. And it’s basically Linus’ whole role at this point to enforce extreme consistency and standards since the project is so large with so many contributors
