From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wish rust integrated more nicely with gnu and guix.
In what way?
You can't just run rustup or install the guix rust package because rust has its own standalone self-contained ecosystem which kinda clashes with the declarative nature of guix since it isn't built with integration with tools outside of the rust ecosystem in mind.
Yeah tldr is "rust good", "ai overrated", "i only care about the kernel and won't answer your questions"
How do you have 25 upvotes? Everything you wrote is wrong.
Linus said, that the rust infrastructure is not stable, is positive about AIs future and happy, that NVIDIA had to step up their open source game.
And even the interviewer mentioned, that the "I only care about the kernel" quote WILL be taken out of context.
And he answered even implied questions...
What? If you read the post you'll see that he was sad the rust adoption wasn't going faster.
Yes, but he also commented that the rust infrastructure isn’t super stable.
The point is that that Linus responses were not as overtly simplified and predictable as lung suggested.
