in 2025 we learned that we seriously can't trust our devices anymore even with the hard earned money AND re-flashing the OS time we spent on them, we are in the age of AI powered zero-day exploits and viruses for all iOt devices.

So last time I've checked /g/ was around 2008. Now watched some youtube vids on this topic and seems like Fedora is one of the best? WTF how did it came to this? Noone talked about Fedora back then.

For me, it's Fedora. I don't know why anyone would recommend Mint these days. Fedora has sensible default settings, good built-in security, newer packages, good support, and you can easily replicate the Windows workflow with KDE. And if you want a macOS-like experience, there's GNOME.Best distribution for new users? Yes, I think so.

So what's the deal with everyone hating on Rust? The usual points people bring up are: >wokism >tranny language >made by jews >it's a cult Disregarding the aforementioned points, can you tell me actual reasons for why a safe(r) programming language like Rust shouldn't be adopted more widely?
>>107608961If you change "Rust" to "C" you get what really happened. C programmers rewrote existing code in C and shilled it as a Trojan horse, literally because of bugs like the Morris worm. C programmers are projecting and accusing Rust programmers of doing what the C programmers actually did.>It was always about personal benefit. Rewriting things is just a way to take the credit for the work someone else did. It's a way to transfer power to someone else.Like the people who said "C is the first programming language after assembly" and made songs like "Write in C" and tried to say C and Unix were the origin of everything in modern computing?
>>107603317Rust doesn't prevent memory leaks. Some of the stdlib leaks memory.
>>107604735If you want to avoid unsafe you have to avoid the Rust stdlib. Unsafe is spammed thousands of times in the stdlib. If the Rust devs themselves use unsafe so much I have serious doubts that safe Rust is a tool fit for any non trivial program.
>>107608932>they deliberately did not "replicate GNU coreutils functionality 1:1"then they're useless for Canonical and thus an irrelevant datum in the context of this conversation you were implying that because there are other non-copyleft coreutils projects, if Canonical wanted to ship one for financial motives, they could have already done so, but your argument falls apart because those other projects purposely do not replicate coreutils functionality 1:1, and uutils intends to and has made significant progress towards that goalbut thanks for playing
>>107609110I don't know why it's so hard to understand that unsafe is necessary. The compiler cannot prove that any arbitrary program is memory safe. You can have a compiler that is either complete (accepts all memory safe programs) or sound (rejects all non-memory safe programs), but not both, Godel's incompleteness or whatever may apply. Soundness is obviously the better of the two options, so there are going to be parts of the code you as the programmer have to take on the responsibility of proving the correctness of, since the compiler cannot.
I find it strange that I never see anyone advocating for systemd to be re-written in Rust.It's the obvious place to start using a safe language in Linux userspace. Since PID1 spawns everything else and is the most important PID in userspace. Unlike kernel modules you don't need to use unsafe code anywhere to implement the init and service manager. So theoretically everything in PID1 should be doable in "safe" code. Meaning everything spawned by it would also be much safer.They should at least be re-writing certain parts of the systemd src tree by now like udev and everything to do with PAM/polkit. The init part should have been done years ago.I find it very strange that the same big tech companies pushing Rust so hard lately never make a peep about what's running as PID1.
>>107608773>The "Unix philosophy" is the cancer.Lmao, Unix philosophy is precisely what made it work and why so many machines from heart rate monitors to giant server clusters run it todayBut the troons that are trying to destroy what Linux is are trying to drag it all down
>>107608816Its clear why they do this though its not just their appetite for destruction but rather their appetite for powerSee if trannies just control one package that is easy to replace if they start forcing everyone that doesnt wave the tranny flag out or put tranny flags in the software itself people could just easily swap into another package so it means they really don't any power if people need to choose them, that would mean they cant force anything down people's throats and people need to keep choosing their software so it needs to be good on its own meritsAnd trannies dont want that, they dont want to innovate and make good software that people would freely choose to use, they want to be able to force what people useSo systemd plays into this perfectly making it a monolith that devours small pacakages and takes over their functionalityThen you finally collude with the major distros and get it pushed there and now you have power when you control the systemd package because everyone is more-or-less forced to use it and if you put tranny flags there or whatever other horseshit they cant just easily switch to an alternativeThats what the trannies have always wanted as i said same thing as pride marches happening in city centers they want a captive audience that is forced to pay attention to them
>>107608816>Lmao, Unix philosophy is precisely what made it work and why so many machines from heart rate monitors to giant server clusters run it today"Unix philosophy" means shell scripts that run programs connected with pipes. Unix "works" because computers got 1000 times faster so they can do bad ideas like using text formats like XML and JSON as a database and rewriting the whole database any time someone changes anything. All the complexity of modern software is about getting around the bad ideas of Unix. Unix needs Electron to imitate a useful GUI.
>>107608868>Unix needs ElectronNobody needs Electron lmao kill that shit with fireI agree otherwise though how retarded it is using shit like XML and JSON but those aren't exactly unix inventionsYou could use socket pipes and transport data as binary which is efficient if that was what was designed something that transport binary data is just as "unix philosophy" than some program that use xml or json.GUI side is definitely the weakest in Linux but again its not like systemd helps in this anywayThe window compositor is something that can benefit from being integrated and monolithic in some ways that is true, but it is the exception
>>107604567Ah yes of course. When it's criticized for being fucking shit it's a product of the community and you should STFU and contribute. But when it's praised it's a product of our lord and savior Pottering and his gaggle of fags and you should listen to everything they say because they know better.Don't even attempt to pretend the community ever wanted this garbage as PID1 or that they had anything to do with writing the millions of lines of code that comprise this intentional backdoor.

>>107606856JXL currently has a high RAM consumption problem they're trying to fix with a rust JXL decoder.

I got one more bullshit test I just thought of. Since AVIF hardware decoding is a thing then it's logical that AVIF hardware encoding will be next. Anyway the faster presets should give us a hint as to what compression efficiency of HW will be like. I'll test 3 SS2 scores and compare them to a JPG of the same score.>50 = medium quality. MOS score around 3 ('fair') in a BT.500 ACR test. Slightly annoying artifacts. This corresponds to the typical output of cjxl -d 5 / -q 45 or libjpeg-turbo 4:2:0 quality 35.>70 = high quality. MOS score around 4 ('good') in a BT.500 ACR test. Artifacts are perceptible, but not annoying. Distortion barely noticeable by an average observer in a side-by-side comparison at 1:1 from a normal viewing distance. Without reference to the original image, an average observer does not notice artifacts. This corresponds to the typical output of cjxl -d 2.5 / -q 73 or libjpeg-turbo 4:2:0 quality 70.>80 = very high quality. Distortion not noticeable by an average observer in a side-by-side comparison at 1:1 from a normal viewing distance. This corresponds to the typical output of cjxl -d 1.5 / -q 85 or libjpeg-turbo 4:2:2 quality 85.https://github.com/cloudinary/ssimulacra2Picrel is the source PNG test image.
