Feedback

VesuLabs via email

Thanks for the feedback on AI bug reporting and Rust in the kernel.

stephenreaves3205 via YouTube

if they spin off Chrome, would they also spin off ChromeOS? Or maybe just rebrand it?

The roadmap for ChromeOS is to become Android

Is Rust opensource?

Not all programming languages carry a license. Here is a Stackoverflow post about C language.
Rust has a dual MIT and Apache. license
Over the years many CVEs have been discovered for the Linux Kernel. Many of those involve memory corruption.

Feedback

ukwan from YouTube

Just kept running 18.04 to 2024. Just switched to ESM and kept going.

jliljj from YouTube

I'd go for the upgrade, good way to stay current and learn.

FredsTech1 from YouTube

Asked about unattended upgrades.
Leo and Dan both use them. By default they just apply security updates but Dan turns them on for everything.
The Ubuntu Docs

siljrath from YouTube

I thought I signed up. Anyone know when thundermail happens?

Conan Kudo

In my experience: people who are less familiar with system installations don't have problems with Anaconda's hub-and-spoke model.

Amanita from Patreon

It is impossible to Backport everything. Using the latest software is best but using LTS or ESR solutions is also good.

redvamp128 from YouTube

You guys should probably do an episode on the history of puppy Linux
It has a good possibility for next season. Stay Tuned!
