New Linux Patch Confirms: Rust Experiment Is Done, Rust Is Here To Stay in c/linux@programming.dev
[โ€“] krh@programming.dev 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I remember when the whole "Rust in Linux" thing was introduced to me via a YouTube thumbnail that said something about Torvalds explaining his thoughts on it.

Now I didn't watch the video, because I wasn't really as interested into Linux/programming as I am today, but I remember thinking to myself: "this is stupid, who cares what language is used as long as it does it's job?".

I am not a developer on the kernel tho, so maybe I'm just oversimplifying things. ๐Ÿคท

Wow. I think that is indeed quite enough to get off the ground. Thank you for compiling this information in such a readable manner! ๐Ÿ˜€

Really like this take. I do move a lot of files between directories, so I could look into copying, cutting, and pasting things via the terminal.

I think learning my way around Neovim also couldn't hurt. I was planning on setting up a little webserver at home, and accessing it remotely sounds pretty handy.

Tips/Resources on the Shell. (programming.dev)
 

So, I installed Linux Mint not too long ago, and while I've been able to do what I want to do without touching the Terminal, I am a bit curious how it works, and whether it could help me.

In particular, I am slowly getting into programming, and I've heard some people talk about strange, otherworldly things, like Vim, and Shell Scripts.

There was this PDF I downloaded called "The Linux Command Line" by William Shotts, but it is 570 pages long, and glancing through it, it seems to go into many different things, and I am afraid I'll end up learning a hundred things while only ever using ten of them, if you get my meaning.

So yeah, anyone who has some tips, or resources for a Linux newbie, please let me know.

System76 launches first stable versions of COSMIC desktop and Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS in c/linux@programming.dev

That's cool, I've been wondering when they were gonna release COSMIC with the OS.

Pop!_OS was the first distro I tried, cause' some old Linus Tech Tips video talked about how it's very good for newcomers to Linux.
