Home assistant is the only/best option

I think Linus mentioned Redox directly during the interview

Long time “old-school” kernel maintainers don’t know Rust and don’t want to learn Rust (completely fair and reasonable). But some of them don’t want to work with the Rust guys for lots’o’technical reasons.

It’s by far not an easy situation technically. Like this is a huge challenge.

But some of those old-school C guys are being vocal about their dislike of Rust in the kernel and gatekeeping the process. This came to a head at a recent conference (Linux Plumbers Conference?) and now one of the Rust maintainers has quit.

The big technical challenge is being confounded by professional opinions.

Then anyone running a Windows VM would just switch to a Server edition, which is almost exclusively run via a VM.

If you install each OS with it’s own drive as the boot device, then you won’t see this issue.

Unless you boot Windows via the grub boot menu. If you do that then Windows will see that drive as the boot device.

If you select the OS by using the BIOS boot selection then you won’t see this issue.

I was bitten by Windows doing exactly this almost 15 years ago. Since that day if I ever had a need for dual-boot (even if running different distros) each OS will get it’s own dedicated drive, and I select what I want to boot through the BBS (BIOS Boot Selection). It’s usually invoked with F10 or F11 (but could be a different key combo.

While I generally agree with that, that’s not what seems to be happening here. What seems to be happening is that anyone who boots Windows via grub is getting grub itself overwritten.

When you install Linux, boot loaders like grub generally are smart and try to be helpful by scanning all available OSes and provide a boot menu entry for those. This is generally to help new users who install a dual-boot system and help them not think that “Linux erased Windows” when they see the new grub boot loader.

When you boot Windows from grub, Windows treats the drive with grub (where it booted from) as the boot drive. But if you tell your BIOS to boot the Windows drive, then grub won’t be invoked and Windows will boot seeing it’s own drive as the boot drive.

This is mostly an assumption as this hasn’t happened to me and details are still a bit scarce.

That would break 90+% of installations then. And all of Azure.

even if you have two drives, you still have only one bootloader, not?

The idea is to have completely separate boot and OS drives. You select which one you want to boot through the BIOS boot selection (ie. pressing F10 or F11 at the BIOS screen).

This functionally makes each OS “unaware” of the other one.

I think I side with the people saying use it anyway. Video hosting is hard, and YouTube is more enshittified every day.

Ya, I’ve been trying out YouTube alternatives, because YouTube/Google are just awful. I just have no idea where to land, but the Greyjay app is really helping with that.

Odysee and Rumble are the platforms that wackjobs (like flat earthers) have flocked to in the past year or so.

Those platforms aren’t promoting that content per se, it’s just that such content isn’t moderated like on YouTube and Facebook. And before you say “but there’s tons of that stuff on YouTube and Facebook already!” it doesn’t compare.

They’re already talking about breaking up Google/Alphabet

I don’t like btrfs, cause you still sometimes read about people loosing their data.

That was only on RAID setups. So if you have only a singular disk, as opposed to an array, you’re fine. And that issue has been fixed for a while now anyways.

I’ve been running btrfs on my laptop’s root partition for well over a year now and it’s fine.

I feel like nowadays there’s less forums or places people can ask help with

I’m sorry, what??

There are more places than ever to find support. The Ubuntu forums, EndeavourOS forums, Manjaro forums, NixOS forums, SUSE forums, etc. Just about every larger distro has it’s own forum and they’re all very active. Then there are general Linux, Linux “newbie”, Linux help communities on the various Lemmy servers and (whether you like it or not) on Reddit also. Then there’s Mastodon. General tech forums like Level1Tech, Hacker News, etc.
