In the presentation, they talk about a compression chip: https://www.youtube.com/live/OPRciCSsdS4?t=2060

Does it count as optimization? For supported hardware, it’s certainly cool. But it’s not making inefficient software better, it’s making better use of the hardware.
None, your current hardware lacks support for this.
A package, meant to run anywhere and be sandboxed.
However, they are only properly sandboxed on Ubuntu. They have some downstream AppArmor patches that haven’t all been accepted. They’re decently sandboxed on other AppArmor distros. Basically no sandboxing on distros that don’t use AppArmor, like Fedora.
It’s not using the same hardware, this seems to use a special compression chip.
To me this feels more like the benefits of a CPU or GPU upgrade. Things run faster, but not due to software improvements. When people talk about things getting optimized due to the high RAM prices, I think most people are referring to software improvements.
