Sometimes, just maybe, people do things to see if they can.

Floorp

It was rejected for putting in features in bugfix only windows. It was always about how he reacted to issues like that which got him moved to “externally maintained” If you have examples of commits being rejected on their actual coding merits, please link.

The code is fine, the LKML has nothing but good things to say about his skills, on this and other things he’s worked on in the kernel. But his interpersonal skills and his ability to work inside the guidelines of how the kernel development process works is the shits.

Now I’m thirsting for Jodie Foster with black rifle deepfakes

How to buff up your resume by getting a kernel PR approved.

For a Windows guest, I’d access with Xfreerdp instead of the console viewers like Spice, it’s probably faster and smoother. In which case you can use the Xfreerdp commandline with -clipboard or use Remmina/KRDC and enable the clipboard with their UI (since both just use xfreerdp in the background anyway).

Fedora KDE, or Nobara which is a game/editing pre-optimized version of Fedora that has nVidia built in with extra tweaks.

Debian. Just Debian. No drama.

Linus has more to worry about than a single experimental FS in a kernel that runs the world. Kent can go have his drama off by himself for a while.

Quickshell looks fucking cool. I’ve fallen down the rabbithole of building qt widgets using this for about 4 hours now. What a great way to use QTquick.

OK, does Ventoy now include tools of some sort and not just a way to boot ISOs? Because as far as I know, it just boots LiveUSB images you place on it. If one of those happens to have partitioning tools, you’re using the tools included in that distro.

Red hat 2.0

Linus stepped away on his own, he wasn’t “suspended”, or at least that’s the public story. For the most part, he’s been pretty calm since.

The point of COW filesystems isn’t performance. Comparing XFS and EXT4 to BTRFS/ZFS/Bcache is pointless.

When Linus gets pissy, it’s to defend the standards and practices that he and the rest of the kernel community have set to advance the project. Yah, he’s direct and probably more unfiltered than he often should be. But it’s resulted in a product that’s given a spectacularly successful platform for FOSS that would have never existed if the companies that controlled everything in the 90s had their way. I guarantee that for all the feelings that he’s hurt over the years, it’s isn’t a patch on the suffering that Microsoft and IBM have laid on their employees. And people still clamor to contribute to the kernel.

Seems like 99% of the contributors manage to work within that framework and get stuff done, even with the threat of being chewed out for submitting bad code at the wrong time hangs over their heads. Kent apparently can’t manage that so maybe he should fade into the background and let someone else interact with the community for him.

I moved to fedora after a decade on Arch.

Feels like home.

Greg KH will be fine.

After you’ve dealt with enough end users, farming is glorious. And a lot more complicated than you would think.
