the deployed architecture of linux is still evolving right now and there are lots of distros experimenting with different approaches
how the basic core OS is structured - immutability, A/B partitions, versioned rollback
how third party applications are executed - containerization, compatibilty, virtualization, bare metal
how software is updated and stored - package management (apt, pacman, nix, flatpak)
i'm sure i've missed other features of new linux distros. this is all really important stuff but has nothing to do with the apps you actually use day to day
the notoriously conservative Torvalds allowing Rust where C++ has been banned is worth crowing about, because he knows Rust is great, mate. nobody cares about a bunch of non-Rust coders not wanting to use Rust in the beta version of the kernel toochain
where can i learn more about how bad things are? do you have any places you normally go to find out the truth?
