Thanks a lot! This clarifies it for me, and if I understand correctly, it shouldn't be a concern for me since my laptop isn't used for data-intensive computing.

Confused about the Write Zeroes command (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'm shopping for a new NVMe SSD drive for my laptop and with the second deciding factor being Linux compatibility, I'd looked up the names of specific drives in the source code of Linux and discovered that their controllers have quirks that have to be worked around.

Now, I figured out more or less how quirks affecting one of the controllers impact its functionality under Linux, but there's another controller that I have a trouble understanding how disabling the aforementioned command limits the functionality of, if at all; therefore I'd like to ask you all, under what circumstances is the command used by a host and can disabling it lower the performance or power efficiency of an impacted controller/drive?

To be clear, the quirk workaround I'm talking a about is NVME_QUIRK_DISABLE_WRITE_ZEROES.

Happy v1... also, Voyager is going to the App Store in c/[email protected]

Which will be the lowest supported iOS version?

Edit: Please correct me if I'm wrong here's a trend in iOS app development where all new apps have arbitrarily high iOS requirements when they could run on older iOS versions just fine. I would love to use Voyager but if it goes down the same route, I won't be able to :(

I know about the PWA but it can stop working for me over time when the old release of WebKit on my phone eventually becomes incompatible with it
