What's wrong with the Windows one, and/or what's better about Gnome's or KDE's?

They did consider making environment-manipulation functions atomic; the problem is that there's simply no way to guarantee that everything that can manipulate your process's environment is actually beholden to whatever atomic interface Rust provides. I could be misremembering, but I think there was even some discussion with glibc maintainers about whether this could be made safe, and the answer was basically "haha no."

What virtual desktops do you prefer? I don't find Mac OS's significantly better, and I haven't spent much time with very many Linux window managers other than i3 (and that was years ago).

Actually, it's pretty surprising to me that a small university lab is forcing a specific version of a specific OS on you.

I...honestly don't know what you mean, and I've had 11 since about when it came out. Do you have an example?

Lots of settings actually seem more convenient now, especially the ones for audio and Bluetooth.

I agree with Linus's argument here. I also think the selected quotes are the main points in that argument, not just "inflammatory minor excerpts."

This headline is based on responses to the question "what are your biggest worries about the future of Rust", not "are you worried about the future of Rust." So of course most of the respondents answered with a concern about the language.

Marcan pretty clearly isn't saying that feature requests wore him down. He's saying that people saying "what you've built so far isn't useful" wore him down.

(Plus, your original analogy about parents and children is completely lost by now.)

Not sure if this was intended as a response to me?

Presumably by people like Marcan working to make it happen, rather than by random people complaining it's not already done.
