stratisd VS NVIDIAImageScaling

https://stratis-storage.github.io/

RedHat has Stratis - https://stratis-storage.github.io/ - that is their answer to ZFS. I haven’t used it yet but it looks good.

RHEL dropped support for BTRFS entirely, so that would be not an option if you want it. They stick to XFS/ext4 with a combination of mdraid, device mapper and lvm. They are working on Stratis to combine stable Linux tools https://stratis-storage.github.io/ mainly to provide similar capabilities like ZFS.

I use btrfs basically anywhere I can. I love subvolumes and using snapper. That said, I really don't see Red Hat paying any attention to btrfs in the near future. They've been working on Stratis and using VDO. It's kind of a weird mashing together of technologies to try to achieve the same features as BTRFS/ZFS. And of course like I said major storage deployments are using CEPH.

No, Red Hat invented Stratis to make XFS more like BTRFS/ZFS, but i don't know how much of it they achieved.

https://stratis-storage.github.io if you're interested. I was following it a lot before since ZFSonLinux wasn't in the best state, but once they merged that and FreeBSD into OpenZFS and I saw how slow the pace of Stratis was, I just kinda forgot about it.

works through nvidia control panel in ALL games, they also released the OpenSource SDK on Github - https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/NVIDIAImageScaling so its up to game devs to use it in games.

HUD being upscaled is a negative there's no denying that, but being able to use it in all games is a pretty good compromise, oh and btw NIS is open source rather than "driver level" only as you seem to suggest (?), its up to game devs to use it.

NVIDIA open sourced Image Scaling SDK v1.0

NIS has universal driver support for any cards that are still receiving regular driver updates, and for the cards that aren't, NVIDIA's open sourced NIS under a Github repository, so devs are able to implement it themselves very easily, even without an SDK.
