LibSQL is an open source, open contribution fork of SQLite
Remember the fork of GIMP because people were offended by the name?

Gimp development release 2.99.12 includes initial CMYK support
> What if the name of the software was CripplePhoto
Argumentum ad absurdum.
> I mean, no professional uses Gimp for photo editing
Perhaps because the lack of CMYK, the limited architecture for plugin, or the outdated UI have more to do than the name?
If the name was the real bottleneck for adoption, you can be sure that you'd see someone creating a fork with different branding and being widely successful. Oh, wait. It has been tried already! [0]

GIMP PyDev
I’ve found that technical types often don’t care about issues like this... but the name GIMP is imo an abelist slur and I really wish they would change it. Sadly the devs don’t seem to care, but there is a fork called Glimpse that aims to remedy this. If any of y’all care about removing discriminatory language from open source projects, please promote Glimpse!

WinBtrfs – an open-source btrfs driver for Windows
> I'd gladly throw my credit card at it
https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs?tab=readme-ov-file#dona...
That's not quite right. Linux btrfs supports raid5 in general, but has known edge cases which make it not safe to use. Basically it's "available, but experimental, for developers only".
Winbtrfs only says the raid5 mode is one of the features, but doesn't really address how well it works. The questions in a related issue (https://github.com/maharmstone/btrfs/issues/293) have been closed without real answers. I wouldn't risk raid 5/6 on it without getting good answers about the status / testing from the developers first.

Can this be used? I knew ReactOS would use it natively.

Portable arch linux, whilst using the same drive as an external storage, for say windows?
Partition the drive so you can reserve some space as external storage for Windows. Using the extFAT filesystem for the storage partition is a great option since it is well-supported by both Arch and Windows, and it also allows for files larger than 4GB to be stored. btrfs can also be used, but you'll need to install WinBtrfs on Windows to be able to read it from there.
So you want to be able to access the drive from windows too? That might be a little tricky, as linux cant install on some file systems, while windows cant read pretty much those exact file systems. Now, this leaves two options. Number 1: You go and make a seperate /home partition, that can be ntfs or fat32 or whatever windows will accept, while keeping your root in ext4 or whatever you like. Number 2: Make a single root partition, and format it as btrfs, then use an experimental btrfs driver and mount your flash drive that way. Keep in mind however, that its an experimental thing. This driver worked fine on one pc, however, on another it caused bluescreens every 2nd time id turn on the pc.
