YOU CUTE IM GONNA INSTALL LINUX ON MY CALCULATOR

I'm starting to be concerned about the growing number of Romanian fedi accounts I'm seeing lately. I'm not sure if the fediverse is safe anymore. At the very least protect your @10grans wallet.

I've got a Linux question. But first some context.

I'm running Manjaro, on a btrfs filesystem with zstd compression activated.
Since Manjaro is an Arch distro, I get my software updates through pacman, which gets packages also compressed with zstd.

Ever since I switched to compressed btrfs I noticed something: pacman downloads take just as long as before, but the installation itself is basically instant.

So my question is: does my system know that, since the pacman packages have the same compression applied to them as my btrfs filesystem, it doesn't need to decompress the software packages only to recompress them again for btrfs? Does it actually just skips decompressing during install and just plops the files compressed as they are to the disk?

I can't figure out why installs have been so fast for me lately, and this is the only explanation that makes sense to me.

Romanian media is trying to scare people into vaccinating. For a few weeks, I've been seeing daily news articles on unvaccinated people <30 years dying from Corona (including children).

Did you know that crowbars didn't exist prior to the release of Half-Life?
