Looks like a funny tool to generate music.
Indeed we're clearly in a transition period on the Linux ecosystem. If it all comes out to fruition it'll be better for everyone... in the meantime this throws quite some complexity at everyone (in particular for portability and deployment).
There it is... at least for the developers and gamers demographic.
OK, that looks like cool challenges to train your troubleshooting skills.
Very complicated software. If you ever wondered how it works. Now you know.
This is definitely a big deal both for the kernel and for Rust.
Alright, this one looks somewhat concerning...
Excellent deepdive about pipes, on the path to optimization we see how perf is used, how memory is managed by the kernel etc. Very thorough.
Interesting food for thought at places. In any case clearly highlight the difficulties of delivering application binaries on Linux platforms in a portable way.
Thank you indeed. The amount of upstream contributions their efforts fostered is enormous at this point.
Nice way to learn systemd uses.
This is good to see this is still making progress.
This is a bit of a rant but that summarizes quite well why I fail to fall in love with snap, flatpack and the likes. Everytime I tried to use one of those I ended up with GBs of extra runtime to deal with and the security arguments are frankly debatable... I wish the LSB wasn't defunct.
This is in the context of a game, but from my experience in other domains... this is definitely why you want Linux users when you make a product. Might not generate a lots of sales but the signal/noise ratio in the bug reports is just great.
Interesting integration of Wayland in WSL.
Fascinating attack vector. It was just a matter of time I guess, the more you use blurry frontiers (be it between OSes or other important domains) the more opportunities for exploits show up.
Nice way to demystify syscalls in the Linux kernel. It's not that hard to add new ones.
The journey of Rust inside of the Linux kernel is still in its early days. I find especially interesting the questions raised by the community. It's especially healthy in my opinion, it's not just "fancy let's have it". They also wonder about the learning path for people to join the community if it's accepted or where to best use it. It's a good account of the social aspects triggered by technical changes.
This is Rust focused but still, shows a good way to increase binary portability across distributions. I suspect a couple of things would be easier with elf-dissector even.
Looks like the situation is still fragile for Linux phones but it's brighter than ever.
