      It looks like to me that this distro is just a beginner friendly version of void.

          Tbf, I feel like omarchy is just Arch but with preconfigured hyprland. What are they going to do with 8 million?

            From what I get, Rust proposes to make low-level coding easier by forcing programmers into a certain workflow.

            Yes and no. It forces programmers to a certain workflow like using a borrow checker to manage memory, but it actually makes programmer’s lives easier, because it prevents bugs from runtime. The compiler will throw a fit, over your buggy code if you try to compile, unlike C.

            The funny part is that rust is actually a high level language that can do low level stuff.

            But functioning C code is as good as functioning Rust code right?

            Yes. I prefer C because it is easier to learn than rust, and feel like rust is more comparable to C++. I also feel like llm plus rust is a good combo, these days.

              I might be mistaken, but I think kvm stands for kernel virtual machine. Having no /proc, and interacting with sysctl instead sounds more secure, IMO.

                Did you know openBSD does not have this folder? I think the BSD’s do not use /proc. I do not know why though.

                  I mean what can’t run NetBSD? I feel like we should start writing drivers in rumpkernels instead of writing drivers for our OS’s.

                    It is interesting because we are getting a popular web browser on Mac to gnulinux. I am not a big fan of it though because it is nonfree.

                    You can’t really decrappify browsers without first decrappifying the web.

                    I agree with this point a 100%. Wish something like Gemini would succeed (Gemini the protocol, not the google bot). The web is so bloated and “unprivate” if that is a word.

                      Yeah it sucks that google coined the name after their ai chatbot. The first thing that comes to everyone when they hear the name gemini is that bot.

                        Gemini is probably going to go the way of the Hurd sadly, IMO. It is a niche that only privacy enthusiasts and FOSS enthusiasts wish to succeed. The Hurd is doing pretty good for how little people are working on it. If anyone is interested checkout my community, which is centered around the GNU Hurd.

                          This is a concern I have as well. Normies are getting into Linux, or should I say GNU/Linux, without understanding the core concepts of Software Freedom. I feel Linux is has been ready a long time ago, but now Linux is more compatible with nonfree software. That is not really a positive thing. But atleast we are making a FLOSS OS more mainstream.

                            It could be, but it’s now in the hands of the same evil corporations that made some guys start GNU and shit.

                            GNU was started because of a broken printer. Jokes aside, RMS got upset that the company that manufactured the printer could not give the source code for him to modify it to make the printer better. That is when he founded the gnu project and the fsf.

                                  BSD actually heavily inspired crux, arch, and gentoo. The aur and portage were inspired by BSD ports. Now of course, I do not know which BSD did the inspiration.
