Writing a kernel in two languages when it has for its entire history been written in one is just asking for needless complexity.

If Rust wants to have a kernel, then perhaps port or re-write Linux in Rust from scratch as a separate project. Once it’s reached a point of being self-hosting, let ‘the market’ decide in an open competition.

If the Rust version is demonstrably superior and more secure, then it’ll naturally supplant ‘legacy Linux’.

Buy physical copies. If you can’t do that, download full installers w/no cloud launchers, and back up those mofos… and find no-CD / no-Steam / offline cracks. If that doesn’t work, torrent hacked versions as a last resort. Own your games goddammit, you paid for them.

On desktop: uBlock origin (Vivaldi or Firefox). On mobile: Newpipe and AdAway (VPN mode, or rooted phone).

How about Haven?

Silly rabbit, did you think paying for a subscription would protect from advertising forever?

I am old enough to remember when cable TV was sold to the masses on the premise that if we bought cable, we wouldn’t have to see commercials, since our subscriptions would pay for the service.

It’s a ratchet system; annoy you, convince you to pay to make the annoyance go away, then wait a while and introduce another annoyance… and convince you to pay somre more on top of that to get rid of that annoyance… rinse, repeat.

Take to the seas, my lad (or lassie). yarrrrr.

Interesting fact, thanks.

As they say though, even a broken clock can be right twice a day
