Linux. It is advertised as offering a sandbox environment in which users
can run application software in isolation from the rest of the system.
Flatpak was developed as part of the freedesktop.org project and was
originally called xdg-app.

This article is about erasing disc drives securely. Specially for SSD
drives, writing zeros or random data to discs is not good enough and
counterproductive.
One way to do secure erase (for disposal) is to begin with an encrypted
disc. However, after the fact the following options are possible:
ATA Secure Erase

There are plenty of reasons why people would need to encrypt a
partition. Whether they're rooted it in privacy, security, or
confidentiality, setting up a basic encrypted partition on a Linux
system is fairly easy. This is especially true when using LUKS, since
its functionality is built directly into the kernel.

If you often mount and access a remote NFS share on your system, you
will probably want to know how to improve NFS file access performance.
One possibility is using file caching. In Linux, there is a caching
filesystem called FS-Cache which enables file caching for network file
systems such as NFS. FS-Cache is built into the Linux kernel 2.6.30
and higher.

In Linux, there is a caching filesystem called FS-Cache which enables
file caching for network file systems such as NFS. FS-Cache is built
into the Linux kernel 2.6.30 and higher. In order for FS-Cache to
operate, it needs cache back-end which provides actual storage for
caching. One such cache back-end is cachefiles. Therefore, once you
set up cachefiles, it will automatically enable file caching for NFS shares.
