π₯ Hot out of the oven: we ported Wasmer's 7-year-old Django backend to Rust.
The result:
β’ 220 CPUs β 24
β’ 800 GB RAM β 64 GB
β’ p95 API latency: 120ms β 30ms
β’ Query timings: 5β10x faster
β’ Startup: >60s β ~1s
Django served us well. Rust is powering what comes next! πͺ
In the end, boring wins the race....
Unlike Windows, Linux based OSs come in many flavors(also called distros) and those favors have their separate versions.
For the first few months or years beginner to intermediate Linux users experience a disease called distro hopping where they move from one flavor to the other because despite being so many, all of them are good and customizable.
Think of a time you had to decide between 3 good choices. It was difficult, because you knew that nommater which choice you picked, you would be fine.
I remember discovering that besides Windows or Mac OSs there was also Linux based OSs around 2015 and I did distro hop for the next 10 years.
In 2025 I was using Pop OS but its new desktop environment was in Beta, so DHH came and gave us Omarchy ( also called The Chefs choice) and settled for it. The plan was to settle there for as long as possible but trouble happended in paradise.
I did use Omarchy for a while but for the past 4 weeks I was facing issues. It felt like I had been pulled back in time and I was trying to run a Windows 10 on an old computer, the mouse moved slow, everything took ages.
- AI couldn't help me resolve the issue,
- Reinstalling from scratch wouldn't help,
- Scouring Github Issues and Stack Overflow just like the old times didnt help too.
So the choice I was left with was switching to an OS that did things differently. The choices on the table was Pop Os and Fedora
So I decided to move back to Pop OS and guess what it worked!.
Its boring but it gets work done, it may not be cool like Omarchy or some other shiny flavor, but it gets the stuff done,
The main lesson I got from those 10+ years of using Linux based OSs is "Boring always wins"
Boring finds what needs to be done and it gets that done.....as simple as that!.

π Apologies for grammar errors, I chose to write this manually just like old times.
But the world has gained billions if not trillions from Linux and that outshadows the millions he is getting
His networth should in the 60 billions if not 100 billions
Yep I am enjoying Africa and watching Apex πππ
like who in their right minds goes into thick woods for fun only to find a man who shaved his teeth and kills people for some stupid rituals πππ
@ThatRetiredDude@Pirat_Nation π I see you issue is not about Linux Kernel, you issual with the Benevolent Emperor
Fork the kernel, implement Ai-Scale reality and pay every contributor....see you in 5 years
Though AI is catching bugs its non deterministic in nature and the Linux system needs to be deterministic in nature
So that AI scale reality will not work well infact it would make the Linux kernel unstable or unusable
Just look at what is happening in companies that ditch people in favor of AI,......you get outages....you get unreliability
So I am not saying is BS, it works but it sucks when it comes to producing the same output for the same inputs everytime...it just sucks at so it should not be put near the kernel
