From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

GNOME does exactly the same thing.

very noticeable and annoying when transferring to slower media like usb sticks, sometimes it takes tens of minutes to unmount after copying a large file because its actually still writing.

i bet MANY people are left with halfway stuff written on their usbs after being in a rush and removing it insecurely on linux after the transfer is "done". this should absolutely NOT be a thing.

AFAIK it can actually destroy the USB if it's removed while being written.
