Actually good for the developer. He is doing it out of his passion and faith in OSS. What more should we want of him? The dude is already a hero.

Our king Sir Torvalds has spoken. And hence let there be rust in the kernel

I run arch. I use vanilla arch (btw) it’s the best. But that’s because I am ready to put in the time. Not because it is inherently better.

Or… Hear me out… Might be controversial opinion but just try.

Don’t fucking install arch based distros. Just install Mint or Fedora plasma and be done.

Zero fucking setup after install. The fedora workstation has so much pre installed and configured I cannot explain. Only gripe with fedora is the media codec bullshit because obviously AMERICAN CAPTALISM.

I know. That’s why the live usbs are a life saver. I really just use the live usb to test everything out.

I have a RTX 3050 mobile with Intel cpu laptop. So far… Everything works fine on fedora and arch. I haven’t installed Debian based on it however

Ohh… No issues. I tried it with the world map 16kx16k image and it worked. My i gpu couldn’t handle it but my gpu did open it

I can see everyone down voting you to oblivion… And that’s sort of fair. But that’s beside the point.

I was having trouble with NVIDIA while using mint early on and decided to switch to Fedora. Maybe try that once. Fedora has better defaults for nvidia.

Use the KDE Plasma spin btw. See if it works.

I don’t know why it souldn’t. DM me the image so that I can test it

LFS is the only true distro

For any other use case, I would have recommended Rust, but for making a hobby game engine, I would advise not using either rust or Odin and instead use C and C++. The graphics drivers have a primary C Abi and you would spend a really long time debugging C to Odin/Rust translation layer bugs than actually working on he engine.

I would suggest write a C rendering library, wrap it in safe Rust and move on from there.

When will it hit arch linux?

I don’t think anybody gets paid enough to write that down. In fact, they might get punished for wasting company time. They could open source it and people would automatically fix these things. Who knows.

I started with rust 2 years back. It has been amazing since. Just build stuff you want to use, even recreate simple apps that you use everyday and have a rough idea on how they work. Getting used to the borrow checker takes time so don’t do something massive. Also if you haven’t finished the rust book and rustlings, I highly recommend them. They are amazing materials.

You can check out my github for ideas. I have till now as far as I can remember built a notification daemon, an automatic music player, a time management app, a video server, video library manager, a C/C++ build system and lots of other stuff. Reading other people’s code will make you get best practices.

PS Don’t learn from my builder_cpp project. The code is utter garbage, but it was how I used to do stuff in the early days

10% of the time its me. 90% of the time it’s me from the past.

I had tried opensuse tumbleweed and absolutely loved the way it did things, my perfect balance between fedora and arch, but there were Teo problems that I couldn’t get over.

1. Zypper is slow.
2. I couldn’t get it to do parallel downloads packages.

But it’s a great distro nonetheless.

Also it has a similar problem with fedora that arch doesn’t. VIDEO CODECS. I don’t understand how the USA messes with my ability to play a video and I am seriously annoyed by it.

I use Obsidian primarily and just push everything to git. Remember to gitignore .obsidian/workspaces.json to prevent conflicts on multiple devices.

It’s because we can to an extreme. Extremely lightweight distro. Very nice in containers and vms. One of the most loved ones out there.

You were able to take a nice unixporn worthy screenshot. That is all you need to learn.

Jokes aside I wish you a very good luck
