Chimera Linux is developing something called Turnstile. It will provide the necessary service management stuff on Chimera Linux, which does not use systemd. GNOME is the “default” desktop on Chimera.

My understanding is that Chimera wants to do this on a way that will work with other non-systemd systems as well. So this may be your solution to running GNOME on Void.

It has nothing to do with Rust. Permissive licenses are more popular with new projects. Rust is more popular with new projects.

The stats show that people are more likely to be attacked by a shark on days when they had ice cream. Eating ice cream does not make you more likely to be attacked by a shark. They are just both things that happen at the beach.

Merge sort is easy to implement and looks cool when animated.

Soft Landing Systems (SLS). So many disks!

They could never let Provinces join as states. For one thing, there would never be another republican President. For the four provinces he mentioned, there would be at least six more democratic senators with maybe two Republicans from Alberta. It would be even more lopsided in the house.

Even the most of the “conservative” voters in Canada would be democrats under the US system.

If you added the four provinces he mentioned to the US today, there would be an impeachment vote in the house that would be upheld in the Senate. No more Donald Trump.

And Saskatchewan is proud to be the birthplace of universal healthcare in Canada. How long would it be before their senators brought a bill to the floor proposing that for the US?

Was the guy who wrote this letter a Democrat? I mean, it is a helluva plan in some ways.

This is all about RISC-V servers for now. Those are arriving soon (later this year). Both Vector extensions and virtualization are essential features. This is where Ubuntu is planting their flag.

RVA23 will be a great foundation for the desktop too but that is not going to happen until the end of 2026 or even 2027. Any then though, RISC-V boards may actually be powerful enough to compete. At that point, Ubuntu will be ready with a mature ecosystem.

It all makes sense but I feel it purposely leaves us desktop or SoC users behind.

Agreed. If something happened, Greg would certainly take-over at least temporarily. Then the LKML would fight over succession like they fight over everything else. It would take too long, it would be dysfunctional, at least one person would quit the project but they would settle on a perfectly workable solution in the end. And it would evolve from there.

There is a whole hierarchy of ownership in the kernel. It is not entirely explicit. It can be quite fluid. It is not as dire as the article states.

I love Haiku but this is a reasonable question

Which conservatives do you mean? The politicians assume they are talking to stupid people. They are often right.

They are not always stupid themselves.

You do not have to. It has already won.

Look at the list of demands these guys make. It is basically “go back to before” because even they know the ship had sailed.

You have to get all the way to the bottom before they admit that this is the opinion of three people. In the very first sentence, none of those groups should be plural because there is only one user, one dev, and one admin.

Very funny stuff.

Agreed. Also, how dense do you have to be to go on for paragraphs about fragmentation and then recommend a display server used by zero point zero one percent of Linux desktops.
