From the post:

>In January I finally made good on my threat/promise to install Linux on my desktop. I wanted to see how far I could get using a Linux PC as my main computer without doing a bunch of research beforehand or troubleshooting afterwards. Since then I have booted into Windows exactly twice: once to scan a multipage document that wasn’t scanning right in Linux, and once to print a photo for my kids’ school on extremely short notice. There’s a reason it’s taken me three months to write the next installment in my Linux diary: nothing has gone horribly wrong.

It only gets better over time. Year 30 still brings no regrets aside from occasional worry that these young dipshit developers are going to try and reinvent what's not broken until they turn it into the same shit as Windows.

Rust cultists aren't your average programmer with a new tool/language/paradigm that wants to rewrite everything using their new toys. They are hyper imposing cultoids who have a self-hosting compiler that no one has access to the original source code of (which could possibly be backdoored) who want to rewrite EVERYTHING vital to the Linux ecosystem in Rust and release it all under the MIT license. It is weird that fucking ALL of them do this - cookie cutter down to the last cultoid - and they make EVERYTHING political. All of this shit is emanating from IBM and Redhat who have become unbearably woke and hostile to people who either just want to write code and be left alone, or who don't want to use Rust.

TL;DR Rust is kiked shit all the way down.
