We're not comparing to C, we're comparing to a theoretical java that has primitive unsigned ints since that was your original complaint. Ofc C is faster, java is faster to write than C though. I write both, there are different tools for different jobs

I already don't compile it in...I'm just stating my opinion. I don't think that should be something in the kernel. I complain, but I also do something about it.

It's not a scheduler issue, it's a windows apps do thread synchronization differently to linux apps. Additionally fsync in the vast majority of use cases works just fine, the article notes most performance comparisons are against vanilla wine synchronization, i.e. without fsync or even esync. Regardless I still don't think the kernel should be emulating windows scheduling behavior.

No, that's not quite the same thing, I fundamentally don't think it should be Linux's goal to be a good windows emulator. It's fine if wine exists and people use wine for that, but I don't think that should be a goal for the kernel, this starts pushing into that territory. Hardware support very much is the Kernel's job and modules which benefit it should be there if it's meaningful

Even if it was built in it probably wouldn't get full root, SELinux borks a lot of root exploits even if they privesc correctly.

Did he actually use proton to run a native game... that's just silly

...that's...a good question 🤔

Maybe it's just been good luck, or maybe I pay enough attention to what apt is going to do and know how to deal with it but I've been daily driving sid for years and am convinced it's more stable than arch based on friends I have that run arch...maybe it's just I'm more experienced but it really doesn't break that much. Obviously ymmv.

I didn't know KDE had layer shell 🤔. I knew it had some wlrootsy stuff but that's interesting. Looks really nice though

All good. I do, I have 2 geographically separated load balancers that do edge caching for images on my screenshot site. The 2 load balancers are anycasted(I have my own ARIN address space) so clients are routed to the nearest PoP based on AS Path. Maybe one day I'll add more PoPs but I only setup 2 as otherwise it'll get kinda expensive for my personal screenshot website for little to no gain. It was mainly a, I want to setup my own CDN, rather than anything practical. I will say, when loading the home page while signed in you can SEE the load time differences in the cached images vs private images which are flagged to bypass the edge cache so it does work.

No I haven't 🤔. That's an interesting idea, I don't have a blog or talk about my projects really. They're just something for me to do and learn. I guess I just kinda assumed that since I'm using it as a learning experience I'm not really qualified to write about it

I find I ask less questions now because I'm a better programmer and just visit the site less in general. I used to ask a lot. I actually don't find that many duplicates though, usually when I have a question there isn't already an answer... usually because when I have a question I'm doing something insane, I find I do that a lot lol.
