        Yes they will! Don’t underestimate the stupidity of ultra-geeks. Maybe that’s a good thing for both Linux and BSD. The first loses a few annoying loud geeks who didn’t contribute anyway, and the latter gets more traction due to loud geeks advertising it in their hackerspaces where other, more useful, geeks reside.

          Do you have anything else to contribute to this discussion besides using the word “geek”? Avoiding addressing the opponent directly does not make your comment non-aggressive.

            I specifically said “loud geek”. I don’t have an issue with geeks themselves.

            By all means, switch to BSD, but don’t yap about it irrelevantly in a thread about Linux.

            You tell me I have nothing to contribute to the discussion, yet your comment didn’t include anything to discuss, just a personal announcement.

      Honestly don’t know enough about programming to be sure but this seems like a responsible use of AI: flagging issues in large blocks of code for manual review.

      The DM changes merged for Linux 7.3 include six minor code clean-ups for issues spotted by Claude Opus 4.6. There are also various manual code clean-ups to different DM targets, improved metadata validation for DM-PCACHE and DM-ARRAY, and various fixes.
