Ignoring the anti-GPL nature of Rust rewrites, it seems that it has been foolish to roll out rust-coreutils wholesale instead of perhaps an option to be selected while installing from the live image, which would almost certainly have lead to enthusiasts testing these utilities; and after enough data had been collected could then have been put in the main branch.

This bug report is old so it should have been fixed by now, but I wanted to commentate on rust-coreutils.

25.10 has been the buggiest version of Ubuntu in a while for me. I really gotta hop distros.

If you're okay with occasionally having to mess with stuff, come on over to arch. I recommend CachyOS for a well put-together distro.

I appreciate the suggestion, but I have a desktop, laptop, and homelab all running Ubuntu atm so I think I would like to stay in the debian ecosystem for now. And while I know its not necessarily distro specific, I do like gnome a fair bit.

you might like vanillaos or bazzite. vanillaos is an immutable distro like bazzite but based on debian. makes maintenance easier. i personally prefer bootc compatible distros because it makes distrohopping easier, but immutable distros in general are good for helping users abandon ship if a project becomes problematic.
