I was following the debate just briefly, but one argument brought up against rust did strike me a bit:
"rust is just like java being a hip language nobody cares about in the future" (I've seen various variants of that one)
Which... is kinda weird, because that tells me those things:
1. you don't know what happens outside your bubble
2. you never bothered learning java
3. you never bothered learning rust
And besides, Java is probably more used in engineering than C.

what's the absolute preferred way of installing cosmic through dnf on fedora?
Using the "ryanabx/cosmic-epoch" copr or something else?

oh sure, I was just curious, because I haven't considered that to be a problem at all.
But yeah.. the recovery path being accessible on macos sounds like an important feature, even if that's just a side effect.
However there are people working on using a slim Linux boot environment instead of grub, so that could also solve this issue, but I've heard that the kexec way of doing things doesn't work on apple silicon devices.

so that would mean that grub needs to become accessible in order to catch up, or does it already have accessibility features (though I think I already know the answer).

As people seem to discuss Code of Conduct stuff again, please keep in mind that decisions are normally not purely made based on specific "wrong doings" or "having the wrong opinion".
What matters as well is how one behaves if confronted about things and if a constructive and reasonable discussion is possible with the person in question.
Reasonable people are entirely fine with having those discussions and we can together find a path forward and figure something out working for everybody.

If any of the #intel GPU folks here being impacted by the lay offs, feel free to drop me a message, we are currently searching for a GPU driver engineer (afaik, at least there is still the job posting online).
