      I am not sure anything about that is good.

      I mean it’s good and bad, basically AI is finding a bunch of serious zero days… which is causing a lot of updates to need to be happening now, and that is kind of open source philosophy of security by obscurity isn’t the goal.

        According to Torvals/TFA:

        most of this is just lots of tiny fixes. It’s pretty much spread all over - drivers (gpu, sound, networking, you name it), filesystems, core networking, arch code

          most of this is just lots of tiny fixes.

          If it’s anything like Claude on our codebase then:

          const id = "foo"
          // ^^^^^ WARNING!!!! GO MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO ALLOCATE THE MEMORY FOR THIS STRING!
          // Here's an Enterprise String Implementation to guarantee this assignment works.
          // Severity: High 🚨

      Just when Linux started getting really good too with game support.

      While I love BSD, three just not enough support for running it on desktop. Lack of drivers and good luck playing modern games.

        Honestly I would expect short term instability and much better stability medium-to-long term. Those zillion little fixes are one reason why Apple stuff “just works” more often than Linux stuff
