The nVME kernel module and stack of adapters to go from PCI -> PCIe -> m2 was one of the most impressive hacks in this video.
It's kinda amazing how many older OS's are getting drivers and patches for newer hardware - Windows 98 and NT got newer USB revisions and nVME in the last few years as well.

In recent past releases there was a noticeable improvement to SMP related networking bits.
Does anyone have benchmarks between 8.0 and previous releases in that department?

Re:Keyboard differences between Windows and Macs

I entirely agree. At $NEWJOB, I had a Linux laptop for a bit while a Mac was on backorder.
Not being able to cut/paste easily because every tool used the Control key for something different, especially in the terminal, was infuriating.
Having the command key handle these kinds of GUI-focused interactions, and Control for most of the terminal-centric and text manipulation (Ctrl-A/E for beginning/end of line, from Emacs) makes the system great to work with.
I didn't mind anything else about my foray into Linux as a desktop OS. If we could get a Linux GUI distro that all it did was match the Mac command key paradigm, I think it would make a lot of people happy.
