  • By this logic the Linux kernel is also a single point of failure and attack vector.

    sudo isn’t going away, so does doas. run0 is just another alternative to use or not.

    There are still distribution out there without systemd and if there ever won’t be any systemd-free distributions left and systemd would become a critical part of the Linux ecosystem, then it would get the same treatment as the Linux kernel with many professional maintainers.

  • Some thoughts:

    • Testing the capabilities of rust and proving what rust is capable of.
    • Seeing what rust is not capable of and proposing improvements for the rust language and ecosystem.
    • Trying new OS concepts. Linux for example is strongly backwards compatible. Starting a new OS is the opportunity to do things different and maybe better.
    • Maybe it will turn out, that the memory safety will improve OS’. We will only know for sure, if we try it.
