There won't be one. I've said it all. I was thinking about adding a "Security" section but I wasn't convinced it was necessary. Security in Linux is horrible in general. * Peo…

You mean a page without 30MB of JavaScript dependencies, 50MB of images, 10MB of fonts and not sucking all your private data is "low quality". Yeah, you're absolutely right, I'm go…

I'm doing fine thanks. You could find me among Linux kernel contributors.

No one, you could read just the first couple of paragraphs. The PC is more or less dead and Linux on desktop is even more dead.

Not pure garbage I'd say but too many projects are indeed lacking. glibc has worked great except there's no forward compatibility :-)

> It is the Win32 API and DirectX. Linux is great at emulating something. Yeah. Mind the word "native" though.

Is it desktop Linux though? Or it's a gaming handheld? Only why would you call it a desktop OS then?

Desktop Linux market share speaks for itself. It's basically 0 or close to 0. I know I know it's been around 2 or even 3%. It's laughable. And 99% of its users are hackers (programmers&…

You mean exceedingly rare apps that use it? Yeah. And they weigh in hundreds of megabytes, right, because they come with all the dependencies starting with glibc. Yeah, that will totally work and has …

Just to make things clear, Phoronix said they are being "delisted". No, they have actually been banished, because if you're not a maintainer of some Linux kernel subsystem, Linus Torval…
