Rust for Linux revisited
Ugh. Drew’s blogging about Rust again.
– You
I promise to be nice.
Two years ago, seeing the Rust-for-Linux project starting to get the ball rolling, I wrote “Does Rust belong in the Linux kernel?”, penning a conclusion consistent with Betteridge’s law of headlines. Two years on we have a lot of experience to draw on to see how Rust-for-Linux is actually playing out, and I’d like to renew my thoughts with some hindsight – and more compassion. If you’re one of the Rust-for-Linux participants burned out or burning out on this project, I want to help. Burnout sucks – I’ve been there.

Much of this echoes Finseth's classic book on implementing emacs-style editors, but with updates to reflect our Unicoded world.
(Many people will avoid dealing with these issues by simply dropping in whatever text widget their favorite library provides, but I enjoy cooking from scratch.)

Filesystem choice
I've been thinking about moving to Artix Linux because I kinda dislike systemd. So I've been thinking about a lot of choices that have to be made while installing and the one I can't answer for myself is the filesystem I should choose. I am currently choosing between ext4, btrfs, zfs, xfs, reiser(fs/4), heard it's a killer filesystem ;). I've also learnt about bcachefs, which seems kind of interesting. I'm not interested in using RAID, LVM and encryption. I want to have a simple setup with one /boot partition and one / partition.
So I'd like to hear from you
