Can you point out exactly what is misrepresented and lies?

You keep coming up with insults or inflamatory comments instead of answering the points, when I’m just trying to have a discussion of ideas. I don’t understand why I am being unhinged when I even agreed with you partially.
I’m not a Rust programmer, I just play occasionally with it on pet projects. The languages I’m most experienced in are C++ and then C, I have no “horse in the race” of Rust, and I don’t see c/c++ going away anytime soon, I just see what the language improves on them
You are not very consistent, first you imply that not “being a shitty programmer” is the fix for security issues in C. And then you say that any programmer can and will make mistakes…
Again you refuse to see my argument: yes I agree that viewing Rust, or any other language, as being a panaceia is wrong and following the hype. But Rust is provably better than C w.r.t to memory safety issues because it, provably, finds memory issues during compile time. I’m not discussing other types of security issues.
Yes C needs all that “freedom” with memory due to its low level use cases, but Rust is proving that it can also cover those cases (with the unsafe keyword) and cover the opposite cases where you want more strict memory usage and safety, so much so that you see now operating systems and firmware being developed in it. I won’t argue and compare performance as I don’t know enough.
You could argue that Rust by providing the “unsafe”, keyword can and will have memory issues, but IMO the fact that you need to enclose unsafe operations in a scope allows for more focused reviewing and auditing
Ahah, I’m pretty sure many of the programmers on Linux et al, that worked on code with CVEs are still better programmers than you will ever be. The fact is that a lot of projects are just complex and they are hard to reason about on languages like C.
But I guess you know that. Keep trolling.
You’re just partially correct.
With Rust you get compile time guarantees that your code doesn’t have a specific class of vulnerabilities. Can you do that with C?
Too many windows
endeavourOs from arch by being less opinionated and giving away the awful colour theme
I wrote loads of firmware in c++ and some on highly constrained boards. You’re just stuck in the past and spewing bs
That’s because Rust solves lots of issues caused by C, of course they are going to twist that knife and use it as a selling points. Humour is not bad, I’ve done lots of C and C++ and am not bothered a bit by it.
It doesn’t reduce the importance of the language at all, just sheds some light on safer languages, Rust or not.
I don’t have an opinion on the whole systemd debate but are you going to expand on what you’re meaning, or will just keep spewing bs bullet points? Specially n4, wtf do you mean by that?
Not sure about KDE. On i3 they have it customized a lot and there’s some things I don’t like: when opening a terminal it will always open in a workspace assigned, by them, for terminals. The same with file manager windows, browsers, et al. I find it to be extremely irritating
EndeavourOS is way too opinionated on i3 for my liking, and the theme is not great. Still it is very stable and offers a reasonable out of the box arch experience.
If you choose
That’s the key. A beginner will know very few things about that and giving him options will confuse them
imho Debian is far from beginner friendly. They will end up with a laptop without WiFi.
I have no issue with subtitles on android or computer …
Can I take my desktop with me anywhere? The screen and seating positions, at home, are an artificial problem…
I was caught by surprise and for some reason this joke clicked so much that I laughed for a while. Kudos
