Linux 6.5 has many great features from the AMD P-State EPP driver default rather than ACPI CPUFreq for Zen 2 and newer supported AMD Ryzen systems, initial USB4 v2 enablement, initial MIDI 2.0 kernel driver work, more Intel hybrid CPU tuning, and a whole lot more.

    I love it. I have a pool of 9x10tb spinning rust as bulk storage (background target in bcachefs terms) and 6x3.84tb SSD as cache and metadata (foreground, promote, metadata targets). It’s proven to be incredibly solid, I’ve written tons (on the order of 50+tb) to the FS and actually hit a few edge cases during my early testing in terms of scaling limits and the like.

    This ~100Tb array replaced a Synology-flavoured btrfs 30Tb which had been running up against capacity limits for a while. I looked into alternative FSes: btrfs RAID wasn’t quite there for me, and zfs won’t be mainlined.

    The only ‘not 100% stable’ feature is Erasure Coding, which I look forward to enabling at some point in the future.
