Linux Developers: “Here’s the thing, you’re not going to force all of us to learn Rust.”
This meme couldn’t be any more fucking accurate.
Lol. If Rust fans want a Rust kernel, no one is stopping them from building one.
It’s hard to overcome the Hurd problem though. Although it would be fascinating to see how it would diverge on the design of the Linux kernel. How much can you still act like Linux while not being Linux? Or would it just be a direct algorithmic translation, basically doing the same processes under the hood with the same architecture? I’m sure there’s more than a few things Linux is doing in C that the Rust compiler would frown upon.
I mean it’s also socialist, with how it’s developed and distributed. Despite capitalists making use of it too. It’s one of the few things in this world the people truly own collectively.
Was chilling with some friends of friends the other week and operating systems came up and one guy said he ran Ubuntu (I’m on KDE Neon) so we started chatting about that and a guy in the back seat said “Hey, aren’t you guys supposed to be fighting?”.
In my experience, Linux folks are just happy to find each other in the wild.
Hell, I’m just happy to meet people that are Linux-curious lol.
It’s mostly online that the distro wars are fought.
It’s the same with leftists in my experience. The fighting is worst online
I’ve never met a linux enthusiast or even a user IRL. So at this point if I ever do, they will achieve best friend status off of that alone.
So strange that an operating system has that affect on me
It really isn’t. It is just a kernel
It’s not just a kernel, it’s a lifestyle.
For what it’s worth, I recall some turd at r/graphic_design swearing at Inkscape because it was “communist”
2025 would be the year of Linux, if we could finally agree, that:
- Fedora,
- rust,
- systemd,
- wayland,
- pipewire,
- gtk,
- Gnome,
- nano,
- flatpak, and
- light mode
is the perfect stack of technology and configuration and that we do not need anything else. But no, you guys just had to disagree, and here we are …
I’m with you all the way, really, except that, truly, KDE plasma and dark mode are the superior choices, obviously :)
Not to mention openSUSE Tumbleweed instead of Fedora :)
And Arch Linux instead of openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora 😊
And NixOS instead of Arch Linux and openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora 😊
And Linux Mint DE instead of NixOS and Arch Linux and openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora 😊
What about a Linux mint desktop theme running on top of freeBSD?
I will switch to Gnome when it can handle multiple workspaces on multiple displays properly. The fact that I can’t have multiple independent workspaces for each display is a complete deal breaker for me.
- openSUSE better
- yes (zig is good too)
- dinit
- yes
- yes
- Qt
- cosmic (when it’s done)
- Emacs
- flatpaks are good at their job, but I want system packages too
- dark mode is infinitely better
I want the kernel to be more rusty!
light mode? hello satan. also, let’s swap gnome to cinnamon. and fedora to mint.
light mode??? 😂
I haven’t seen Linux users fights over distros… Ever. We just have lots of choices, and most of them are awesome.
Oh, just ask an Arch user about Manjaro.
