As a user I am not particularly sympathetic to the economic concerns of some small company if that comes at the expense of my security.
And Rust does seem to be increasing the rate and level of support small outfits can offer - see Asahi Linux for an example of that.
- b20000 3y agosecurity or safety is not necessary in many situations and should not be forced onto users. if your usage requires that fine. don’t place your requirements on other users. also you are basically saying adopting linux is only for big tech. i don’t think that is in the spirit of open source.

Conversely, if you don't care about code quality feel free to not use Linux or make your own in-house patches without contaminating the kernel other people are trying to use. > also you are basically saying adopting linux is only for big tech. i don’t think that is in the spirit of open source. If only "big tech" can write kernel code safely then so be it. Of course, I think that premise is nonsense, but I don't care about the onramp enough to compromise on security.
