This is mostly because Linux can't manage Thunderbolt power states. I would be disappointed if MacOS didn't do it however, since the hardware is supposed to be "integrated" with software.

AFAIK, this is mostly Chromium and their patches. The interface itself (that is mostly build in something similar to Electron, i.e. JavaScript, CSS and HTML) is completely closed source.

Low memory usage is a Firefox win at least, partially because they don't have true multi process yet. I would gladly switch to Firefox on my dev machine (opening both Photoshop, Visual Studio and Chrome in a 8GB RAM system is a recipe

They create a copy of the binary of the interpreter, you can even call it directly instead of activating the virtualenv first.

Well, in my case I actually suffer of random crashes, and it is not only sometimes too. Almost every time that I run WSL for something more advanced them SSH I already expect it to crash or at least lack some feature that I want/need.

There is ton of new interesting libraries being compatible with Python 3 only, so you can make this argument in either way. In the end, you should ask yourself some questions: Am I starting a new project or continuing an older one? If the f

My two cents, you probably need to apply setcap in Python interpreter itself instead of the script. It shouldn't be a problem though, since you probably will use a virtualenv anyway. Another option would be to drop privileges at runtim

If you swap the video, they're counting the time to cold startup to fully load the page from your last session. And sure, I have dozens of tabs in Chrome, and while Chrome itself starts fast, fully load a webpage can take a long time.

I am not saying that this is not a bug, just that this isn't the problem that the author is making. If you have local access, you probably can do other things if your only objective is to do a DoS.

You could simple do a DoS attack with a local user using a fork bomb too. It would be even shorter than the command showed in this post blog. So while this is a bug, the author is overreacting just to make systemd look bad.
