Their wordsMore and more of our personal and professional computing experiences will come from agents that orchestrate work in the cloud, using sandboxes. Those sandboxes will be Linux.

Their wordsEvery piece of software is now at major risk, Linux included. But Linux has the collective investment of everyone on the planet throwing tokens at it.

Their wordsIt is an infuriatingly locked-down computer. Now, to Apple's credit, it's a pretty good computer for being locked down, but I don't want a locked-down computer. I wanna own my computer. Better yet, I wanna mutate my computer, and this is where the agentic age needs a new operating system. When you can vibe code whatever app comes to your mind, you should be able to vibe code your operating system.

Their wordsLinux conquered everything else. All the AI infrastructure that everyone runs off, it's all running on Linux. All the systems, all the servers, everything is Linux. So it was kind of a curiosity that the desktop and the personal computers we were using really hadn't been captured, but clearly it was just waiting for this moment. Linux spent the time from '91 to now waiting for agents to fully flourish as an end user operating system.

Their wordsI don't require anyone to be as excited about AI or agents as I am. It's completely fine. But we also need someone in this camp in this Linux camp who are really excited about AI, who really leaning in with agents.

Their wordsFirefox and Chromium have mature, browser-specific infrastructure for certificate revocation and related PKI data, but system utilities, package managers, language runtimes and many command-line tools have historically lacked a consistent mechanism for checking whether a publicly trusted TLS certificate has been revoked.

Alice Ryhl quoted
Software engineer on Google's Android Rust team
Their wordsI think where Rust is really unique is in the combination of things. So on one hand, it it doesn't have a garbage collector and it it's usable in low-level context like the Linux kernel or firmware or whatever.

Alice Ryhl quoted
Their wordsI would say here that the Linux kernel is truly unique in this particular aspect in that they have thousands of contributors doing it on work time. I actually think that the Rust project is doing pretty well at having people do it and get paid for it like by their employer, but it's nowhere near the to the same extent as as the Linux kernel.

Alice Ryhl quoted
Their wordsAnother thing that's really cool is you can contribute to the Linux kernel without contributing to the Linux kernel, right? because you might take a Rust language feature we need and implement it and now you've contributed to the Linux kernel indirectly

Their wordsThe big news were that at the Linux kernel maintainer summit, we agreed that Rust is no longer experimental in the kernel. That was really big for us compared to the previous year.

Their wordsIt's crazy that it took me more than thirty years to realize this, but while I spent time in Apple's walled garden, the free software alternative simply grew better, stronger, and faster. The Linux of 2025 is not the Linux of the 90s or the 00s or even the 10s. It's shockingly more polished, capable, and beautiful.

Their wordsI think perhaps to some extent this has been a weakness of Linux because someone can look at that and go like oh that's kind of the same as what I'm already using. Why would I go through all the trouble to end up with something that's very similar?

Their wordsA quarter of Omakub is trying to work around the fact that helpful tools like Alacritty or LazyGit or whatever rarely have official packages for Ubuntu, so you're left doing a lot of manual scripting to get everything a developer would want from a modern Linux setup. Not so with the AUR!
