   Ryzen works great, and will likely improve over time. The Vega GPU that accompanies some models is unsupported, however, if you can get a slightly older AMD card things will be better on the graphics side, but this is only important if you

   People have certainly attempted to cobble something together using different pieces on Linux, but the semantics will never be truly perfect unless a native implementation is attempted.

   The paths that you unveil(2) can be hardcoded, set from a command line flag, or parsed in from a config file. What can't be done, however, is arbitrary file access at runtime, as there would be no point at which you could lock unveil o

    Not at all, for example you can't implement the ratchet down semantics of pledge() using seccomp. For instance having initial broader promise set "stdio rpath recvfd", and then irrevocably dropping to a runtime promise of &qu

    Linux also had USB 3 draft support before there were even any consumer products on the market. Intel engineers wrote the XHCI driver for Linux, well before developer documentation was available publicly. It was added to other operating syst

    At least in Canada, they changed their website quite a bit, accepting PayPal, having a marketplace with 3rd party sellers, similar to Amazon. Good for them, honestly.

    Not at all, for example you can't implement the ratcheting down semantics of pledge() using seccomp. Say starting with a broader promise set "stdio rpath recvfd", and then dropping to "stdio" after full init. pledge
