A lot of news has been coming out of open source powerhouse, @RedHat, over the past month. Check out two of their announcements that I think are really exciting in this article on @FrontPageLinux!

Good introduction to Rust in Linux by some of the developers that are doing the work:

(disclosure, I helped a tiny bit with the C examples...)

[Linux++ @linux_plus_plus]

Never thought I'd see a language besides C/C++ make its way into the kernel in any major capacity. We live in some interesting times! 🦀🦀🦀

[Rust Language @rustlang]

"Slowly but surely the Rust language is making its way into Linux. I talked with Linus Torvalds and Greg Kroah-Hartman about where they see Rust and Linux working together."

This is huge! Excellent work, @elementary OS team 👍

Though I am not the happiest with the UI changes for my workflow, I will undoubtedly give the new @gnome 40 desktop a fair chance. I failed to do that with GNOME 3 and realized that I actually liked it many years later. If it doesn't click, I'm glad there are others out there!

[GNOME @gnome]

User research played a big part in GNOME 40 designs. It has helped guide specific choices that improved the overall design and will make it a better experience for users.

Just received this in the mail from @Canonical via #KubeCon. I passed this up over a decade ago ($50 was a lot of money back then 😉) and regretted it ever since. Really awesome that I was able to get one just before @ubuntu 20.10 Groovy Gorilla. Thanks #Canonical! 😃🤘

I've recently been discussing my thoughts on @btrfs as the default file system in @fedora 33 and my general excitement for it. @Linux4Everyone member, @Schykle, just put out an awesome video explaining the importance of a move like this. Check it out!
