I would not throw Rust and C together in this.
Rust is low-level in terms of being usable for kernel and embedded development (due to not needing a runtime), but it’s rather high-level in terms of the syntax offering lots of abstraction from the weirdness of the hardware.

Some of that not-needing-a-runtime does bleed into the syntax, but in my opinion, it’s still higher level from a syntax perspective than Bash et al, because it brings in many functional aspects.

I guess, I’m also just bothered by you saying, you don’t ‘need’ Rust for writing CLIs, when it’s my favorite language for this.
To some degree, I do just find it ridiculous to launch a whole runtime when the user just wants the --help, but the argument parsing in Rust is also just really nice: https://rust-cli.github.io/book/tutorial/cli-args.html#parsing-cli-arguments-with-clap

I know you’re joking, but uh, both of those are (largely) implemented in Rust…

Did he actually say that he likes it? My impression was that it’s not his comfort zone, but he recognizes that for the vast majority of young programmers, C is not their comfort zone. And so, if they don’t hop on this Rust train, the Linux kernel is going to look like a COBOL project in a not too distant future. It does not happen very often that a programming language capable of implementing kernels gains wide-spread adoption.

On openSUSE, I’ve apparently got at least this thing for looking at SystemD services:

Allows viewing the services for the different boot targets, as well as the service files. You can also start/stop services or change their start mode (on boot vs manual).

Well, and there’s a JournalD viewer with filtering:

Not the most developed GUIs, but…

Goddamn, I realized this was referencing the Microsoft forum just from reading the first paragraph and I’ve hardly used Windows in the last decade…

I guess, this is why they think the incessant rambling from ChatGPT is in any way acceptable.

Different people have different levels of heat resistance. My dad will abort mission, if you shake the pepper shaker more than once. Obviously, he doesn’t have it in him to go back for seconds. I do, but having grown up in that household, it takes a while for the same heat resistance to build up. I bought sriracha for the first time a few months ago, and you could certainly still melt my face off with it, despite me using it again and again.

Sure, it’s still just certainly a choice. It took me multiple years to realize why it’s so broken on TTYs, as well as when you run newgrp and probably other places.

I thought Linux just sometimes goes into this buggy state, where you can’t make any typos. At one point, I broke my GUI session and had to fix it, typing commands off of my phone screen, without making any typos.

Learning that this is Working As Intended™ just killed me…

These days, I know that you can just run bash (or your shell of choice) to get out of this buggy state, and I still set bash as the system shell when I have to use a Debian-based system, because I just do not care about however much performance it brings in.

I think, a more serious attempt to summarize openSUSE would probably be: Functionality

Debian, Arch, Fedora and such are all weirdly similar in that they focus so much on minimalism. For example, Debian uses dash as the default shell, which breaks TTYs, but possibly squeezes out a tiny bit of performance, so I guess, that’s worth it…?

I think, your expectations are off for what a native integration would achieve. A kernel which has both a Linux API and a Windows API would be an insane maintenance effort. You’d naturally want the Windows APIs to simply be translated to the respective Linux API calls. This is what WINE does.
In theory, if it’s directly integrated, you could do some dirtier stuff, i.e. call kernel-internal APIs, but you want to avoid that as much as possible, since those kernel-internal APIs are not nearly as stable as the public APIs.
It should also be said that writing kernel-level code is hard. You cannot ever crash, you cannot ever make mistakes when managing memory, you cannot allow yourself any vulnerabilities. Again, you want to avoid writing kernel-level code, if you can.

WINE has some additional ugly workarounds, like a virtualized filesystem. There’s not terribly much you can do about that. Windows applications may simply expect certain folders to be in certain paths. You can’t directly map that to a UNIX filesystem.

As far as I can tell, pretty much the only advantage of natively integrating it, would be that it’s installed by default, which can be achieved in other ways (distros), and due to those ugly workarounds will not be popular at all. As much as I’m touting its horn right now, I do not want WINE on my system, unless I need it.

It’s easy to be frustrated with WINE, because it does not handle all applications perfectly, and then think that the approach is just wrong. But yeah, no, some really smart folks came up with that approach. It’s just insanely hard to get the exact (undocumented) behavior of the Windows kernel APIs correct, whether you do a mapping or implement them natively.

Yeah, I was expecting it to be a joke like:

• Introducing Longtrucks. 🚌
• Impress even more strangers of the superior person-hauling capabilities with 32 seats.
• Includes a light-up sign 🚍 so you can proudly show to strangers where you’re headed.
• Access a world-wide network of pick-up bays 🚏 for you to pick up strangers from.

Zero-setup snapshotting, GUIs for system settings, more sophisticated repo management, less custom-patching of software, more utilitarian than minimalist.

I do enjoy how he’s referred to as “head chef”, when “chef” itself comes originally from the Latin word for “head”.

If you will, he’s either Head Head Jeff or also Chef Chef Jeff.

I guess, I’m not up-to-date on the situation then…

It’s so ridiculous, too. As far as I can tell, he was arrested, because his clothes looked superficially similar to the person who shot the CEO, but if you spend five seconds comparing the security camera images, it’s pretty obvious that none of the clothing items actually match. If they hole him up based on this evidence, that’s embarrassing.

To me, it’s just death by a thousand papercuts. It doesn’t have any unique selling points that I’m aware of, and it’s slightly worse than my preferred distro in every way that the two differ, at least as far as I can think of.

My mum had these dried chili flakes, which were a few years past their best-by date. And honestly, I couldn’t imagine these really going bad, so long as they remain dry. I mainly tasted some before throwing it into my food to test whether it even still tasted hot. But yeah, they were good.

Never quite knew what to do with these, when I still lived there, but that made me consider buying some. I cook with more veggies now, where the chili really hits the spot.

Armadillidae

Not to be confused with Armadillidiidae.

🙃

Apparently, they’re not actually insects, but rather crustaceans.

I did consider posting a screenshot of just all the applications on my PC… 🙃

But yeah, not much OP can do with hundreds of recommendations that don’t work on their OS.
