glibc == gnu C library

It is the standard C library used on GNU/Linux systems. Basically, it is very important. I've also heard that the code is a rats nest. I wish standard distros would move to musl libc.

Build it yourself source-driven distros?

Double the pool, but they'll still have zero chance because 0 * 2 = 0. Such is the life of a bi

Zig is designed as a successor to C, no? So i assume it does syntax and things quite similarly. Rust is not a C-like language, so i dont think this a fair comparison at all.

But in the end, learning syntax isnt the hard part of a new language (even if it is annoying sometimes).

All the different tests ive seen comparing Rust and C put compile times in the same ballpark. Even if somehow every test is unrepresentative of real-world compile times, I doubt it is "order[s] of magnitude" worse.

I remember watching someone test the performance of host a HTTP webpage and comparing the performance of Zig, Rust w/ C HTTP library, and Rust native. Rust native easily beat them out and was able to handle like 10s of thousands more client connections. While I know this isnt directly relevant to Kernels, the most popular C HTTP library is most likely quite optimized.

Memory related vulnerabilities are consistently in the top reported vulnerabilities. It is a big deal, and no, you can't just program around it. Everyone makes mistakes, has a bad day, or something on their mind. Moments of human fallibility. Eliminating an entire class of the vulnerabilites while staying competitive with C is a hard task, but entirely worth doing.

Understandable. I wish there was a secure alternative to GrapheneOS on non-pixel hardware.

Manjaro was buggy in my experience (used it for a year), and seems to be a well hated distro at this point. I am not suggesting that will fix your issues, just mentioning. I had a friend switch from Windows to Linux for the first time and Bazzite was the one that worked the best for their Nvidia card. As the other commenter said, dual booting on the same drive with Windows makes it a headache to manage.

length("s/he") == length("they")

It also just sounds awkward to say he/she

While I haven't had to deal with much of the bad .ml users, I had a long comment thread with some conservative guy who got so mad he changed his bio to say "after the last experience, proudly homophobic". I reported it to the admins of the instance and they didnt ban even after all that shit.

Never ask it to do regex. Holy fuck, thank God I was just doing it for funsies as a test of local LLMs. I got it to go into an infinite loop trying to figure out what I asked.
