I can finally stop calling it GNU/Linux.
Rust/linuxRust
Lust
Oh good God, Linux is finally old enough to start rusting?! And on BOTH ENDS?

That’s extremely unexpected.
The GNU utils weren’t written by Canonical so they were doomed from the start.
Not to worry, they’ll ship 'em via snap.
Straight to jail.
I like snap, send me to camp.
Lol, I don’t hate snap, I also don’t need a sandboxed ls with a 30s startup time.
Oh god no
More likely they will make them dependent on snap so you can’t remove snap without breaking the system.
Why?
Because why? I can expect a very niche distro like Cachy do it but not a big project with a serious market share.
Canonical has a long history of doing wacky shit that nobody asked for though. Unity, upstart, snap, probably other things that I’m not thinking of
Unity was great, though. Ubuntu took a hit going back to customized gnome
Unity at least didn’t break anything, and you still had a choice in choosing desktop environment.
Wait is this their way to break compatibility with old binaries so that you’re forced to use snap?
They’re steadily climbing the test suit:
The uutils should be compatible so I don’t think so
Check out our new Coreutils! (Snap required)
Seriously though I’m just imagining that Coreutils are now going to be dependent on snap.
I don’t think so unless they make their own rust core utils.
Rust is good, rare Ubuntu W. Now stop with the forced use of snaps.
You think this is a win, but is just another step in the enshittification.
What about licences and FOSS?
According to the video it’s MIT licence, and they discuss the risk of such a licence vs coreutils usage of the GPL
This worries me indeed.
Archlinux usually is a bit more reasonable. I don’t understand the forcing. Just makes me love it (archlinux) more!
This is the Linux community’s Sophie’s choice.
Literally why? Not even criticizing rust but the GNU core utils are easily some of the most reliable and documented software tools ever written.
Not to mention, looks like the rust core utils are MIT and not GPL.
Literally why?
Because MIT?

Ubuntu continues to show that it’s the absolute worst.
To bad no body really uses it (or at least they shouldn’t)
