  • Don't have one, so can't say from experience, but big.LITTLE arch with e and p cores sound very good for laptops.

    Newer cores have way better graphics, so even that gap has narrowed if not closed. Iris seems quite capable.

  • The main reason is that Dbus is not available during early stages of boot. There are many others.

    Varlink seems to be better or the same compared to dbus in all except two things:

    • json doesn't handle 64bit integers, it handles 52bit (or 54bit?) (size of mantissa for floats)
    • you cannot (yet) list all things connected to the bus

    Details here:

  • I think this number is overblown. Production useful doesn't have to mean 1:1.

    Running it without all graphics drivers would be fine for server use. Also, not all filesystems need to be ported: basic ones should be enough for start. But not only servers, home routers run Linux kernel...

    If every OEM starts contributing their drivers in rust, this could move quickly...

  • Why would they put effort into changing something which works for them with the risk of breaking things?

    The sentiment is similar to climate change deniers. Why would we stop with fossil fuels when they work, people have jobs, etc. And why would we risk breaking the power grid?

    And as long as that works for them, they won't actively change anything.

    Wayland on gnome and Ubuntu is already the default. It seems to me you have to actively change the default to x.

    It would be interesting to see in which scenario x is better than wayland. The only reason I can think of is an (old) Nvidia card. With new Nvidia's I guess the statement would otherwise be 'i will not use it until they fix Wayland'
