I highly doubt it

Thanks Brodie! It is clear you really understand where COSMIC is coming from and where we want it to go. A little negativity will not slow us down!

It is painful to me that I have seen a few big accounts say something to the extent of "why don't the Rust folks make their own kernel." Either they are not aware of Redox OS or they are ruling it out for unknown reasons. I would appreciate elaboration.

So, is memory safety "woke" now?

What does it mean to be a "non-fan of rust"?

There are projects where you will inevitably have to get your changes past patronizing pedantic megalomaniacs and while the Linux kernel is not only developed by this personality type it is overwhelmingly controlled by it.
I have no fond memories of submitting patches there, whereas I find contributing to most Rust projects to be downright delightful.

This kind of treatment is exactly why I started @npub1y8w…gese from scratch and written primarily in Rust. There is a lot of resistance to even minor beneficial change in Linux and related projects. I don't even try to contribute to the Linux kernel anymore.

Feels like the only social media not taken over by brainless AI yet is mastodon:

It doesn't feel genuine when someone targets others who are supposedly on your side, calling them things like "ableist" for not having finished their work. It reminds me of having been called a racist by Lunduke for supporting DEI...

I am unfollowing @npub1p09…m5vl. No matter my disagreements with GNOME folks in the past, COSMIC and GNOME are going to end up with the same accessibility backend, @npub1p5m…qwhw, developed by the amazing @npub19nh…v7fc. Thanks to funding gathered by @npub1dug…kxeq from @npub1yng…nhrk, rapid advances are being made in Wayland-compatible accessibility features. Let's stop concern trolling each other and instead work on building a better free software world for everyone.

This is Redox OS (@npub1y8w…gese), a Rust and micro-kernel based operating system that I created, running three COSMIC DE apps (with only Rust dependencies) that I authored. Even the C library, relibc, is written in Rust.
Are we OS yet?
