'No AI has been involved in creating this article.' I like that. Reminds of 'no synthesizers on this record' of the 80s :D

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.

So what are the atime settings in a Linux distribution like Ubuntu?
You can run this to check
findmnt --real
findmnt --real
Cheers! Apparently Ubuntu uses the relatime setting.
It is the default atime option used when mounting if I'm correct. If it's an ubuntu specific mount option it will be specified in /etc/fstab file.
That's the most accurate article on the subject I've read in years.
Cool article. They don't post often enough!
