The real concern with replacing C tools with Rust ones is that it’s an opportunity for useful idiots/scumbags to change the license to something that benefits corporations at the expense of the public.
We should be ignoring all attempts to subvert copyleft, but I know that’s too high of a bar for most of you to reach.
Unless they absolutely guarantee feature-parity with the existing C-based utils
Is there any reason to think they won’t?
Debian is really losing the plot IMO. Glad I switched to Devuan some time ago.
Aren’t you just an anti-wayland anti-systemd weirdo? Not that there is anything wrong with using what you want, but pretending they aren’t much needed improvements in the long run is ridiculous
I have tried Wayland a few times over the past few years, probably bad luck on my part with what systems/chipsets I’ve had every time, that it hasn’t been a great experience. But I have read it’s getting there, so I expect someday I’ll just switch and not really notice the difference there.
As for systemd… yeah I’ll be “a wierdo” for the foreseeable future I suppose. Good ol’ sysV init scripts, or openrc, have always, and still do, work well enough for me.

Apple and Sony will be happy, though.

RIIR projects usually don’t have feature parity.
Yup, guess I am :) … for now.
