2025 would be the year of Linux, if we could finally agree, that:

  • Fedora,
  • rust,
  • systemd,
  • wayland,
  • pipewire,
  • gtk,
  • Gnome,
  • nano,
  • flatpak, and
  • light mode

is the perfect stack of technology and configuration and that we do not need anything else. But no, you guys just had to disagree, and here we are …

I want the kernel to be more rusty!

TheHobbyist ,

I’m with you all the way, really, except that, truly, KDE plasma and dark mode are the superior choices, obviously :)

Not to mention openSUSE Tumbleweed instead of Fedora :)

And Arch Linux instead of openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora 😊

apprehensively_human ,

And NixOS instead of Arch Linux and openSUSE Tumbleweed and Fedora 😊

mogoh ,

You have just single handedly chased away some potential Linux users and prevented Year of the Linux Desktop 2024! Just with that comment! I hope you are happy now!

palordrolap ,

nano with the new, alternative "GUI editor standard" keybinds or the old pico ones?

tkk13909 ,

For most people yes. The only things I would say are more personal choices are nano, Gnome, and light mode

Vilian ,

Disagree on gnome and nano KDE and Micro supremacy

Fuck light mode

I beg to slightly differ, but it’s a good take overall:

  • Aeon Desktop or Fedora Silverblue, any sane immutable system, really
  • Zig + Rust + Scheme / Clojure
  • systemd,
  • wayland,
  • pipewire,
  • gtk,
  • Gnome,
  • nano / gedit / whatever y’all are using instead of glorious Emacs
  • flatpak,
  • distrobox
  • light mode

light mode??? 😂

Better UI consistency. It’s always really annoying when you have your nice dark theme and a bright white page pops out of nowhere and fry your eyes.

For ease on the eye, keep everything black on white, and turn down screen brightness if the environment is dark.

light mode? hello satan. also, let’s swap gnome to cinnamon. and fedora to mint.

I mean it's also socialist, with how it's developed and distributed. Despite capitalists making use of it too. It's one of the few things in this world the people truly own collectively.

Linux Developers: “Here’s the thing, you’re not going to force all of us to learn Rust.”

This meme couldn’t be any more fucking accurate.

MajorHavoc ,

Lol. If Rust fans want a Rust kernel, no one is stopping them from building one.

It's hard to overcome the Hurd problem though. Although it would be fascinating to see how it would diverge on the design of the Linux kernel. How much can you still act like Linux while not being Linux? Or would it just be a direct algorithmic translation, basically doing the same processes under the hood with the same architecture? I'm sure there's more than a few things Linux is doing in C that the Rust compiler would frown upon.

MajorHavoc , (edited )

Yeah. The idea of an automated C to Rust replacement of the Linux kernel is fascinating. As you say, there’s probably stuff in the Kernel that Rust’s compiler won’t allow.

I imagine it wouldn’t work at all, out of the box, but it might reduce the cost curve enough to make a dedicated team of very clever engineers able to cross the last mile, given time.

As cynical as I am of both Rust and AI generated code, it honestly feels like trying an automated conversion might be less of a long shot than expecting the existing Linux kernel developers to switch to Rust.

And I’m sure a few would kick in some thought cycles if a promising Kernel clone could be generated. These are certainly interesting times.

possiblylinux127 ,

It really isn’t. It is just a kernel

Gork ,

It’s not just a kernel, it’s a lifestyle.

For what it’s worth, I recall some turd at r/graphic_design swearing at Inkscape because it was “communist”

AVincentInSpace ,

They’re also similar in that if you tell them you use Linux but like Canonical and/or Lennart Poettering they’ll yell at you and call you all sorts of names but if you tell them you’re a Windows user they’ll leave you alone

x00za ,

From my experience, those discussions only happen when Distros are compared.

When I’m talking to other Linux people, there has never been any competition, and as long as you are using Linux you are a bro.

In my experience, Linux folks are just happy to find each other in the wild.

Hell, I’m just happy to meet people that are Linux-curious lol.

It’s mostly online that the distro wars are fought.

jrgn ,

It’s the same with leftists in my experience. The fighting is worst online
