    fuck gatekeepers. the linux kernel doesn’t deserve new, talented people bringing fresh, useful and modern approaches to the project; their time and effort is only wasted there. i know it’s not right, but part of me wishes linux rots and something better takes its place.

    bitterness aside, i hope marcan gets the rest he needs. i wish him the best.

      In short, you’re for the “make a new kernel from scratch” plan. It’s okay to just say that without being hateful on the competition.

        There are already several Rust Kennel From Scratch projects that are reasonably progressed. Redox is one, Asterinas is another.

        The latter is I think aiming for Linux ABI compatibility.

          The latter is I think aiming for Linux ABI compatibility.

          I had never hard of Asterinas, but this sounds like a the best approach to me. I believe alternative OS’s need to act as (near) drop-in replacements if they want to be used as daily drivers. ABI-incompatible alternatives might be fine for narrower use cases, but most people wouldn’t even try out a desktop OS that doesn’t support most of the hardware and software they already use.
