  • Just go ahead and write a very basic working kernel in rust.

    I don’t get this stance, really. If I want to write a driver in Rust I should start by creating a completely new Kernel and see if it gains momentum? The idea of allowing Rust in kernel drivers is to attract new blood to the project, not to intentionally divert it to a dummy project.

    Rust is sufficiently different that you cannot expect C developers to learn rust to the level they have mastered C

    If you watch the video, no one asked anything from the C developers other than documentation. They just want to know how to correctly make the Rust bindings.

    Note that Rust is not replacing C code in the Kernel, just an added option to writing drivers.





  • I’m not really invested in Cosmic, I’m happy with Hyprland and will continue to use it.

    I do think they did a REALLY nice job with the tiling. I don’t think you can find a more intuitive and user friendly tiling window manager. Something that’s not absolute barebones out of box and can be configured entirely with a GUI. In that regard it does bring something to the mix and is very very welcome.

    In Portugal we have a couple of these stores but I really don’t understand how they stay alive. I went there once with a sealed 60 euro, recent, game for a console I didn’t down. They offered me 15 euros and were selling used copies for 55 euros. Why on earth would I buy or sell for those prices?

    We used to have GAME stores everywhere and they occasionally had really nice deals. I loves those stores, it’s a shame they went bankrupt.
