I disagree. Hellwig was not contributing with the discussion. The point is that Rust is being integrated into the kernel, whether Hellwig likes it or not. It passed the point of discussing if it should happen or not. Besides that, R4L is responsible for maintaining the Rust code even if something is broken from the C side of things.
I think that Linus’ concerns about posting on social media is completely valid, but I was pretty disappointed that he didn’t address Hellwig going full retard. Marcan dealt with this like a spoiled child in the end, but he was 100% right.
If you want to make Linux impossible to maintain due to a cross-language codebase, do that in your driver so that you have to do it instead of spreading this cancer to core subsystems. (where this cancer explicitly is a cross-language codebase and not Rust itself, just to escape the flameware brigade).
This should be worth a Linus rant in my honest opinion.
I don’t use Windows anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those “Linux purists”, if other people wanna use Windows, go ahead. But I’m not using it. I swear to god, if it becomes mandatory to use Windows at my company, I’m leaving the next day.
OK, that’s the first reasonable explanation I’ve come across. I wish Greg Linus didn’t reply in that kind of “angry” tone, because for some of us it’s not that obvious.
I’ve tried a lot of different DAWs already, Cubase/Nuendo, ProTools, Logic, Reaper, FL Studio, Bitwig, Ableton, Studio One, just to name a few. I’ve worked professionally only with Cubase, Pro Tools and Logic. I hated every minute I used Logic. Cubase being the best for composing and Pro Tools for recording and mixing. Studio One is very mature right now and that’s what I’m testing, since they now have a Linux beta. I tried Ardour before and unfortunately it doesn’t come even close to being as good as a “real” professional DAW. Even Logic was more pleasant to use than Ardour. I really wanted to like it, but it was not a very pleasant experience.
Free Download Manager was pretty rad. Being able to resume the download later was a life saver for dial-up connections. I remember that it took me almost a week to download Gunbound.
Any chance of this having a Plasma 6 Global Theme?
I hope “normal people” start exploiting that decision too. Training AI to consume stuff from big corporations and using the result to create open source/copyright free stuff from copyrighted works.
I don’t know exactly about Woodpecker CI because I haven’t used it very much, but GitHub Actions is Beta software. Has A LOT of bugs, no QoL features, spaghetti codebase, the Runners are AWFUL to selfhost… and I could go on.

I was getting really pissed seeing that Pointieststick had to explain the same fucking thing OVER AND OVER again. I don’t know if the gnome dev in question is stupid or just trolling.
People joke but when I started playing factorio, I was playing multiplayer with my brother and a friend. We played for almost 24hrs straight. I remember going to sleep afterwards and seeing transport belts when I closed my eyes. THE FACTORY MUST GROW.
THANKS OP, I WAS JUST WAITING FOR THAT MOMENT
I think a better question would be: “what’s not wrong with NTFS?”
But that’s the problem, NTFS is not solid at all.
I think the whole ecosystem around the language is enough to understand it sucks. The tools, the build system, etc. Plus, I don’t like Microsoft.
You lost me at “compared to C#”. C# is pure garbage.
Yeah, I agree with you that, realistically speaking, Rust people would probably complain when C code brakes their code, but I still think that this was not what Hellwig was talking about.
In my opinion, he was just being unreasonable when he told people that he would be doing everything he can to prevent anything else that’s not C code from being merged into the kernel.
I mean, I understand his concerns of not wanting to deal with Rust code, but what he said is not contributing AT ALL to the discussion.
btw, I’m not the one downvoting your comments. I disagree with you but I think you are making some valid points.
