Why are the performance of Rust so bad, benchmarks show it's on par with Go (-which is not that bad-) but Go is a garbage [spoiler]collected[/spoiler] language running on a virtual machine, isn't rust supposed to produce code as fast as C/C++; it's not even close. Plus Go compiler is quite fast while Rust compiler is slow as fuck (-it's expected tho'-) and give you slower or same speed code. Wtf man ?! They said it was for system programming, they said I could make a fast, safe [spoiler]toy[/spoiler] OS with it. Don't defend them saying the compiler is not mature yet, all the optimizations are already in there, Rust is a meme, Rust is fail, Rust is death.
Go doesn't run on a VM
why aren't you using redox /g/?, a unix-like OS written in Rust
It's a microkernel and already made more progress than GNU/HURD
Microkernel Design
Most features are implemented in Rust
Includes optional GUI - Orbital
Newlib provided for C programs
MIT Licensed
Drivers run in Userspace
Includes common Unix commands
ZFS Filesystem Support (WIP)

Go doesn't run in a VM
the problems with go is just that the type system isn't that great when compared to Rust and no generics among other things
Rust concurrency support isn't that good compared to Go or erlang though
how is this not making more waves? its literally revolutionary

It can have twenty for all I care, how is the quality compared to iPhone or S7?

Nice but not necessary.

That still looks like shit.

Like what? Also what for?
>if apple did this shit it would be world news
Because people actually buy Apple phones, so they care.
Rip-off of a kick starter I saw some years ago. Two cameras? Wow. That must have taken r&d forever to figure out. And I would probably shit if you could ever remove a battery from an iPhone without cracking it open.

There is no proof of a backdoor. Therefore there is no backdoor.

Welcome to /fg/lt/, or as I've recently taken to calling it, /fg+lt/. We are always open to users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are four ways to try GNU/Linux, you can:
0) Install a GNU/Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
1) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full GNU/Linux experience".
2) Dual-boot GNU/Linux with Windows/Mac (recommended if you want to learn more about GNU/Linux)
3) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with GNU/Linux
Before asking, please search for answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe WINE can make up for it.

Reminder that systemd is a fiasco.
Is developed by a elite and only the elite has the time and the funds to check the source code (by a corporation that makes business with the government). Many programs (therefore, Linux distributions) adopted systemd as a way to use other programs that systemd devoured. Making a cascade of dependence from which there is no escape.
Microsoft now could make possible a takeover on Linux thanks to systemD homogenizing Linux and the constant use of BSD license that allows privative software being built atop which strangles the open source community competition against takeovers from corporations ("embrace, extend, extinguish" all over).
Also is a security liability. Their proponents never speak about leaving free to attack the systemd-init that runs every daemon, and the shit is even connected to the network.
As init is the second most powerful program in linux, just below the kernel. The kernel code has so many eyes on it, but not that many on systemd. We bash about openssl/gnutls holes all the day, but none of the holes could be as nearly detrimental as a hole in pid 1, either accidental or intentional. Systemd serves as inetd and listens on network sockets.
The new systemd specific user switching is more insecure because PID1 constantly runs root programs with a massive attack surface. While only systemd-init is PID 1 and the rest of systemd does not run at PID1, everything uses systemd-init functions.
Add that it has su-like functionality in direct contact with programs that are network-facing and you have a security hole.

If I have both my desktop and laptop on Debian Unstable, is it a good strategy to stagger my updates?
Meaning, I upgrade one first, see if everything runs okay, and then upgrade the other one, and so on - so that if one actually breaks at least I know not to update on the other just yet?
What the fug is happening?

This is Torvalds' workstation. He is able to do develop the Linux kernel with only one monitor thanks to the superior window management and virtual desktops in many Linux graphical environments.
Ever notice how wincucks always have two or three monitors?

He answers emails on the mailing list.
>can't get shitnux working with multiple monitors
>develop superior single-monitor technology
Sounds legit.
Atleast windows has a decent window management, you easily snap windows to sides of the screen without any hassle.
on OSX its a nightmare, you have to press and hold buttons and select shit.
Do you at least give Apple credit for revolutionizing mobile phones?

I just don't understand why they're going backwards.

Are those the THX00? They sounded bloated as fuck and had no isolation. The cable isn't even detachable and it's a 400 dollar headphone. I returned them a week later and it took me another week of arguing back and forth just for massdrop to receive them. I don't know what people are thinking buying those pieces of shit.
Laugh at me maybe it's sqt tier but is opus the same as ogg?
>>53752275
They are not the same. Both are open source and royalty free lossy audio codecs. Opus is better in any way imaginable and kind of a successor for Ogg.
