I’ve never used another init system, but i see no problem with systemd. The declaritive approach makes things very robust. Surely some things can be improved, but it’s a good tool.
Edit: Also managing user services the same way is nice.
If you want to protect the system from untrusted software with containers be careful. Containers and images are mostly an abstraction tool to run and control the applications. Not saying it’s not possible, it’s just easy to make it insecure.
No. It’s only about the kernel itself, not Linux Systems(aka Distributions).
Earlier the kernel did only consist of C code, but for some time now the option to develop parts of the kernel in Rust is being worked on. In the end it both compiles to native machine code. The running kernel does not require the Rust toolchain to be present.
I think they mean Wine or Proton
Wow, i would’ve expected it to take longer.
I wonder how quick Valve will switch to it on the Steam Deck

Interesting that there is a flatpak build as well. I knew it was possible to run cli programs with flatpak but this the first programm i see that explicitly lists that as an option.
No issues except that if you want to source files to set env vars you might have to use a plugin (foreignenv in my case)
I still write scripts in bash. But fish’s command completion is incredible. Idk, maybe other shells can be that good as well, but fish does out of the box.
Edit: Also some people used to bash wondered what that nice shell is on a server we administrate together. They had no problems using it coming from bash.
And sticking with POSIX is good if you want to stay portable, but my shell mustn’t be portable. It should be friendly and reduce mental load.
