How do Debian and other distros feel about Rust? It’s a fantastic language that can improve security, but it doesn’t have a stable ABI and they don’t really do the whole dynamically linked library thing.
I’ll offer a balanced position and say nobody can do it all themselves, but I think everyone should strive to be self-sufficient in at least one aspect of modern living. My neighbor grows their own food. My dad is good with cars. My aunt makes quilts and dishware. A society that has crafty knowledge widely distributed like this makes it more likely everyone knows an expert on a given thing, helping prevent people from getting screwed by terrible products. An Arch Linux user might be able to manage linux for 100 close people in their social graph, or at least advocate for it. This also keeps industry from having 100% market share.
I have the issue that the snap version can’t browse files whose path includes a hidden dot file/directory in my home directory. It doesn’t seem there’s any clean way for me say “no, I give you explicit permission to read these files.” My workaround was to
sudo mount --bind ~/.foo ~/barand then browse from~/barinstead. I’m not sure what they think they were preventing me from doing but they failed.
Some day you may find your machine booting into linux without displaying a grub menu. You were promised a menu giving you boot options. Where is it? The problem may be your grub timeout is 0. Set the timeout in
/etc/default/gruband then runupdate-grub. See section 6.1 of theinfo grubmanual.
If they manage to standardize an attestation API, they can swiftly kill off that possibility, as well as the possibility of any new successful operating systems / device manufacturers via the natural user growth that benefited the current hegemons.
