Comment Desktop Linux needs to stop sucking is all (Score 3, Informative) 224

I use command-line Linux every day. Last month I tried to get my 2015 MacBook running a Linux desktop. Turns out a kernel regression broke the video driver I need. After I worked through that, by disabling the video driver, I found that standby was not triggered by a lid closure. I also found that after manually invoking standby it was impossible to resume. And finally, changes in charging status, like hitting fully charged, would cause the system to turn on. So even if I was ok with a full boot every time I used the system, the act of charging the system would leave the system fully powered up at the crypt screen with the lid closed.

Similar experience as my past experiences in the mid 90s and mid 00s.

Comment Rust is great but... (Score 3, Insightful) 53

The headline is misleading. Rust has nothing to do with the performance gains. They rewrote an entire system using what they learned from the previous version. Sometimes this is the right thing to do. It's not always easy to predict, but when folks start raving about the rewrite then it was probably a good decision.
