One way is to donate to devs who are working on some specific features in the Linux kernel. The two I remember are Hector Martin who lead the Asahi Linux project and Kent Overstreet who is the main dev behind bcachefs, a new CoW FS.

But I guess this only works if there is some dev already working on a feature and is accepting donations. I wish we had community linux project or something similar which was funded by donations and hired kernel devs to work on things the community voted on.

Its about Malibal, an infamous linux/windows hardware company. The person in the video is a KDE dev (Niccolo).

Distros ship with icons and themes system wide because apps running as root only load icons/themes that are installed system wide (you can check this by running an app as sudo).

Woah that MR actually got merged damn. Couldn’t believe it when I saw this, I thought the title was a clickbait or something until I checked and it was for real.

Delta chat is based on top of email (i.e.SMTP, IMAP) so its like sending emails but in a chat format and encryption on top (and some more stuff).

Centralization is not a good thing IMO. Im glad Fedora is bothering to maintain their own repo no matter how useless we find it.

Yeah the whole situation really sucks. Im a big fan of both marcan and linux so its just sad how it all ended. But Im hopeful the R4L project will be successful despite these setbacks. Some of the first rust drivers are really close to landing and I think once that happens, the dust will mostly settle as hopefully most of the things around rust would have been figured out by then. Even this situation led to some improvements like the R4L policy (and also brought the issue to greater public scrutiny). Though the drama probably won’t end there, especially if rust starts making in to the core kernel (thus start being required for building the kernel). That is probably going to be the final obstacle; if rust makes it to the core kernel code, I think the R4L project will have succeeded.

Just search or ask whatever questions you have about Linux (just like your question on GPU use). Overtime you will gain extensive knowledge of linux and before you know it you will be a linux power user.

I wonder when Ubuntu will make the shift. They are the only ones left on AppArmor at this point (tbf they have been maintaining it alone anyways).

really nice video, covers the whole spectrum of things

You are just being silly, there is no way its going to “seriously damage the entire Linux project”. There is nothing too technical about the whole R4L drama (esp. the recent one), its mostly political opposition to Rust from some C folks. We have seen this before in Linux (Wayland/X11, systemd/sysv, etc.).
