Alyssa Rosenzweig, a well-known Linux developer, publishes her manifesto. "I’m on the board overseeing Linux graphics. Half of us are trans. If all you care about is Linux, resist the attacks on trans people."

It's not going to happen

The object/memory model in Linux (how you pass around data) is extremely difficult to interface with w/ Rust. Huge fundamental parts of it would literally have to be rewritten in Rust and data structures rebuilt from the ground up, without solid backwards compatibility, which is rarely ever how major progress is made in mature software. It's always incremental and bit-by-bit.

Still there's tons of opportunities around the edges of Linux, like drivers, self-contained code, and userspace software that will very likely be heavily Rust in the coming years.

In the meantime the core of Linux will remain C for the foreseeable future.

<--- this marsey was exposed to the trans lives matter movement for 12 seconds

The fact Americans genuinely think trans people are like Tutsis....

Hm. How do they square that circle? You’d think they would hate working for a system of oppression that promotes heteronormativity yadda yadda

Half of them already don't bother to pass. Dudes with goatees are piling on makeup and expecting everyone to treat them as women.

The angle also hides the schnoz and shoulders.

I think she's 21.

I wonder if a distro or some other project made by forced anons will ever take off. Like, to contribute you have a random name assigned to you, there's an IRC where you must use that random name, if you talk about who you are irl you get banned, but you're invited to reregister as a new anon, maybe get GPT to rewrite most of what they post about to minimise stenography attacks. You could be interacting with , , , or , and you'd have no idea. It wouldn't matter. All that matters is your work for the project. I've wanted to make this for the last few years but I have a job. Maybe when I retire and need something to do with my money and time.

filtered by the command line, lmao.

I had to use Ubuntu during a college internship cause the guy I worked under I'm pretty sure had Aspergers

it tried so hard to be like windows but it seemed like anything more than moving your mouse required the fricking terminal again

Meanwhile, I know a Windowschad who runs cracked versions of ECU tuning software and a 2005 copy of Solidworks on a T400 Thinkpad with 2gb RAM and Windows XP and it works flawlessly

what are you talking about every distro has a package gui called like "software manager" or something

Also why is there no Linux --> GNU/Linux filter?

Because we now prefer to call it GNU + Linux.

Filtered

I remember when it used to be faster than Windows.

Now, moving the cursor causes memory leaks or some shit and its just worse than using anything else.

I heard that's just part of the standard user experience

That's what killed it for me the last time I tried using it. They're no closer to actually having a package manager you can use to install everything than they were in the 1990s.

but oops I don't have a darn program installer of all things available.

How about not using an installer in the first place? Just provide the exe portable and raw for Marsey's sake (with libraries embedded). I'd be happy to move away from Windows if Linux and its surrounding culture was actually even remotely decent.

apt-get is the program installer you fricking morang.
