Nobody wants memory bugs. Penguinistas continue debate on how to squish 'em. Some Linux kernel maintainers remain unconvinced that adding Rust code to the open source project is a good idea, but its VIPs are coming out in support of the language's integration.

Linus Torvalds has largely refrained from the ongoing LKML discussions around a Rust policy for the Linux kernel and in-fighting between kernel developers and maintainers with differing views over Rust. This evening though Linus Torvalds did decide to chime in on the conversation.

I've talked about a few app launchers in the past and how they fundamentally change how I use my PC.

And while the Raycast developers are promising a Windows version will come in the future, there are also some cross-platform solutions out there.

Subject: Linux Finally Introducing A Standardized Way Of Informing User-Space Over Hung GPUs

[Reply] [ReplyQuoted] [Headers] [Print]

The upcoming Linux 6.15 kernel is set to finally introduce a standardized way of informing user-space of GPUs becoming hung or otherwise unresponsive. This is initially wired up for AMD and Intel graphics drivers on Linux so the user can be properly notified of problems and/or user-space software taking steps to address the hung/unresponsive graphics processor.
