Microsoft losing the plot to the extent that games running on Linux through a compatibility layer are now not only faster but *assumed to be faster* than games running natively on Windows should be an even bigger story than it already is

For gaming, Microsoft views steamOS as the benchmark, and is working to optimize the platform so that steamOS and Windows gaming performance are comparable. Within the next year or two, it believes that Windows will be able to truly compete head-to-head with steamOS in gaming performance on identical hardware due to foundational changes that are being made to the platform in the coming months.

I'm quite shocked to see a user-space Rust scheduler (rustland) competing and, in some cases, even outperforming other BPF or in-kernel schedulers. Big shoutout to the @cachyos.org community for constantly running all these benchmarks! It's great motivation to keep improving!

Just came across Sandbox, a Rust-based tool which uses OverlayFS for creating lightweight containerized views of the host OS for safely running semi-trusted programs. Could be interesting way to modify and even install system apps on immutable #Linux distros, or test OS upgrades on regular distros.

I also recommend avoiding ALL Chromium/Blink based browsers, as it furthers the Chromium monopoly, hurting smaller browsers and web diversity (Cloudflare blocking browsers they don't recognise). Fight the monopoly. Use LibreWolf or Zen instead. Support upcoming indie browsers like Ladybird & Servo.
