    I’ve only ever seen people be anti rust, never anti kernel. Can I ask when the kernel became evil?

      I think it was fine before 2024. Last year Linus made a geopolitical decision and I think there was another incident but I can’t remember it now. Because of that I consider using custom kernels without such issues generally better.

        You don’t like the exclusion of Russian developers? I feel like more hands is always good, but I don’t really care that much.

          I indeed do not. Any bias in development always hurts the quality of the project and reduces security.
