This is one project that needs more developers....

[ClosedSource]

Interesting. Thank you for the information. I wasn't aware of these numbers.

My gripe with Libreoffice has been stability. It's not consistent....

[ClosedSource]

No. That is not a similar analogy. MS Office is actually dirt cheap. 7 dollars a month.
MS Office just happens to be better because it's more mature...

[ClosedSource]

Don't troll. MS Office is indeed better. More people use it. It's better tested in real life scenarios.

Granted Windows is better now than...

[ClosedSource]

This is pretty much what I said. You can cross compile. But this doesn't change why the choice to have busybox exists. Someone felt busybox was their...

[ClosedSource]

No sane person wastes money auditing 71 external libraries. Regardless of how you personally don't "see an issue", it still exists. You end...

Rust requires LLVM meaning C++ meaning an architecture that has a C++ compiler. Your car keys probably have a C compiler.
You're absolutely right...

[ClosedSource]

busybox is for very small systems with a static lightweight libc implementation. Rust is on the other hand fully fledged.

[ClosedSource]

I was picturing the opposite. Write in C++ and use your Rust code within the C++ project. Would that be possible?...

[ClosedSource]

Nothing's wrong with that. It's an open source project and their efforts are always appreciated. But, why not use Qt directly then? You can still utilize...

[ClosedSource]

Is there any rust GUI toolkit that doesn't optionally or necessarily require a framework like Qt/etc../etc...?

[ClosedSource]

Linux is a free kernel. It never had the chance to choose anything. It's a collaborative project where companies push their code (which may be well tested...

[ClosedSource]

Honestly, this isn't what's extinguishing Linux. WSL is. You no longer need to replace Windows to run "some" Linux software....

[ClosedSource]

I honestly can't remember where I get this from. Probably a reaction to a joke someone was making next to me.

Edit: It could also be an existential...

[ClosedSource]

It has its audience. My employer has a substantial number of clients and they pay him a lot....

[ClosedSource]

What's wrong with my nickname? I write closed source software for Linux and maintain Linux workstations (and other things) for a living....

[ClosedSource]

You seem to have lost me somewhere. I have not used Windows in 20 years. I've been using Linux ever since. I briefly used Windows XP in the early 2000s...

[ClosedSource]

How am I then to differentiate from a person speaking out of experience and someone who is just relaying trendy thoughts?...
