Just go ahead and write a very basic working kernel in rust.

I don’t get this stance, really. If I want to write a driver in Rust I should start by creating a completely new Kernel and see if it gains momentum? The idea of allowing Rust in kernel drivers is to attract new blood to the project, not to intentionally divert it to a dummy project.

Rust is sufficiently different that you cannot expect C developers to learn rust to the level they have mastered C

If you watch the video, no one asked anything from the C developers other than documentation. They just want to know how to correctly make the Rust bindings.

Note that Rust is not replacing C code in the Kernel, just an added option to writing drivers.

In the company I work with you can use whatever you want but I’m the only one using Linux :(

KDE has “”“tiling”“”. They called it tiling but it’s just god awful. If KDE had real automatic tiling, I would probably have sticked with it, to be honest.

I’m not really invested in Cosmic, I’m happy with Hyprland and will continue to use it.

I do think they did a REALLY nice job with the tiling. I don’t think you can find a more intuitive and user friendly tiling window manager. Something that’s not absolute barebones out of box and can be configured entirely with a GUI. In that regard it does bring something to the mix and is very very welcome.

This is really nice for games optimized for the touch screen such as Football Manager or Magic the Gathering. Holding the deck with one hand and playing with the other is uncomfortable after a while.

Thanks for remembering me! I ended up getting a pillow for iPad.

This looks like a much, much nicer solution. Unfortunately shipping to Portugal alone is 71 euros making this a truly unreasonable price for me. Hopefully they get really popular and come to Europe!

Yep, it’s off :(

If you don’t have time to tinker maybe consider another distribution more suited to your needs. Waiting 5s for every action is not a time effective solution.

But don’t Razer products actually have a decent support on Linux?

Mate you need to debug your machine, that is not normal behaviour. I have endeavour on an old laptop and everything is fast.

I had a teacher who was really passionate about Ubuntu and was distributing Ubuntu 5/6 live CDs. I ended up installing it on my laptop. It was a pretty miserable experience. Everything was ugly as hell, configuring the sound card was a pain, Wi-Fi drivers had constant problems, upgrades to the new x.04/x.10 version borked the system 100℅ of the time. Pretty miserable but got the job done.

Nowadays the experience is much, much smoother. Just ensure you don’t need exclusive software.

I wasn’t able to set up a reverse tunnel, because I’m also under a corporate VPN :( I was able to get xfreerdp to work, though! Maybe I can add some port-forward + tunnels and be free :P

I can use it, just not very efficiently.

Ideally, I can set port forwards/tunnels so that I can then work from my machine’s terminal.

Here’s how I got mine:

1. Go to the web version: https://client.wvd.microsoft.com/arm/webclient/index.html

   • You should have a list of machines, in my case I only have one

2. In the top right corner, click on the settings icon (cog)

3. Under “Resources Launch Method”, select the `Download the rdp file" radio option

4. Click whatever machine you want to access

5. The file started to download

This worked perfectly, thank you so much. Now let’s check if I can add some port forwarding through this…

In arch it’s xfreerdp3, just in case anyone needs it.

My favorite movie is the Matrix (the first one). Gutted by what they did in the sequels.

Favorite genre is definitely Fantasy, love the world building in these movies.

Thanks a lot for pointing it out, next time I’ll just look for that toggle and save myself th trouble!

Last week I installed Windows 11 on a new laptop that came with FreeDOS installed. It was a really dreadful experience, I never thought it was this bad.

• The windows 11 installer couldn’t find any hhd partitions or hard drive, while FreeDOS could. After googling for a while I had to download an Intel Rapid Something driver from the manufacturer’s website and load it up when installing windows 11.

• After installing Windows it required an internet connection to proceed but I assume the wi-fi drivers were not installed. USB tethering didn’t seem to be working either so I had to continue the setup elsewhere, where I had physical access to the router.

• I had to skip a lot of things throughout the installer, which kinda shocked me. Office 365 and even games, before I even booted the actual OS.

• Fully updating Windows took 2 hours. Fresh ISO, gigabit Ethernet connection, nvme HDD. Damn.

Pretty miserable experience and completely impossible to an unexperienced user.

A couple of years ago, in Portugal, there were more couples looking to adopt than “viable” children up for adoption. While your statement makes total sense, it may be a insensible option on your country. Make due research!
