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.

Has Anyone Attempted Replacing All Linux Command Line Tools with Rust Alternatives? Share Your Experience! (reddthat.com)

After watching this video, I'm tempted to give it a try myself. The idea of swapping out traditional CLI tools for Rust-based alternatives is intriguing, and I'm curious to know if anyone has undertaken such an endeavor.

I'm also on the lookout for dotfiles that primarily feature configurations for Rust tools. I find it both educational and entertaining to explore other people's configurations. I stumbled upon this repository, but I'm interested in discovering more if possible.

Yeah - it would have been nice of them to inform him. I still don’t think he was “screwed over” by anyone and it seems like he doesn’t either. He updated his code for them without asking what they were using it for. And as he’s against the ME itself he claims he would not have cooperated if he had known.

Well the point is that he wouldn't have the need to know if he has used something like GPL.
