gnome-open is the program that opens your browser when you click
on a link in gnome-terminal. Except that recently it's started
opening Gedit, the gnome text editor, instead.
I have triple super checked to be absolutely sure that the preferred

Zfs isn't a typical daemon/process. That's like saying databased is a memory

Zfs ram requirements will depend on your file system i/o load, types/sizes of
