They make Mageia: Samuel Verschelde


Hi Samuel, welcome by Mageia italian users. First of all, could you please start by introducing yourself?
Hello. I’m Samuel Verschelde, 29 year-old, living in Lyon (France).
How did you first become interested in Linux?
I discovered linux during my studies, in 2003. It was exciting to discover a whole new world I didn’t know, having only used computers with Microsoft systems on them for many years. The first distribution I installed was Debian potatoe, and it probably wasn’t the best choice for a beginner not familiar with unix command line
Then I used Red Hat for some time and finally settled to Mandrake in 2004.
How did you discover Mageia and why did you decide to join the project?

Meltdown/PTI Mitigation Impact On BSDs vs. Linux
Besides the fresh BSD/Linux disk performance tests, some other tests I ran on various BSDs and Linux distributions this week was looking at the performance impact of Intel Meltdown CPU vulnerability mitigation on each of them, namely the performance impact of using kernel page-table isolation.
On DragonFlyBSD 5.2, TrueOS 18.03, Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 18.04, and Clear Linux I ran tests when the mitigation was enabled and then again when it was off for seeing the performance impact.
