Introduction Following on from Carefully But Purposefully Oxidising Ubuntu, Ubuntu will be the first major Linux distribution to adopt sudo-rs as the default implementation of sudo, in partnership with the Trifecta Tech Foundation The change will be effective from the release of Ubuntu 25.10. You can see the Trifecta Tech Foundation’s announcement here. What is sudo-rs? sudo-rs is a reimplementation of the traditional sudo tool, written in Rust. It’s being developed by the Trifecta Tech Founda...
¯_(ツ)_/¯ GPL of Linux didn’t help Android being more open either. And the driver being implemented in the kernel actually is an obstacle to it, @bunitor.
Does it have to be Linux? Some greybeards are pretty opposed to it. I wonder if it would be easier to make our own theme park kernel with blackjack and hookers memory and thread safety, like Redox.
In order to be a viable general use OS, probably yes. It would be an enormous amount of effort to reach a decent range of hardware compatibility without reusing the work that has already been done. Maybe someone will try something more ambitious, like writing a rust kernel with C interoperability and a linux-like API so we can at least port linux drivers to it as a “temporary” solution.
Now we just need to rewrite the Linux kernel in Rust
There’s RedoxOS already.

it’s also a microkernel, double ew

This will delay Hurd by another 40 years
