"You don't need an anti-virus on Linux" , "forced updates are bad"

Linux was inspired by Unix, and initially developed on Minix, but is its own OS with its own code. GNU+Linux doesn't follow Unix philosophy with the monolithic kernel and SystemD.

So, I'm reading about some improvements to the new Linux kernel. -Something I use to chase when I was on Linux and part of why I chose Arch initially. Of course I never noticed any of the 'performance improvements'.

-So, I'm thinking... Where are the benchmarks, or quantification of performance improvements?

And then this comment from David Huang seems to nail the reason:

It's really frustrating to see AMD kept shipping code that's not gonna actually work at all.

The 3D V-cache optimizer driver requires x86_sched_itmt_flags() to be returned in x86_die_flags() to function (i.e. let the kernel prioritize threads to 3D V-cache die), otherwise the core prioritizing scheduling would only gonna work within a single CCD rather than selecting the preferred CCD first, then selecting the highest performance cores. 7950X3D definitely needs that, it's also the whole point of this driver. But that flag is only enabled for heterogeneous configurations like Strix Point because AMD added a feature check for X86_FEATURE_AMD_HETEROGENEOUS_CORES there before returning the flag in x86_die_flags().

The whole preferred core scheduling thing on Linux is just a few AMD kernel engineers following Intel's implementation without a clue how they worked, and how to test them to ensure they work as expected.

With Linux, you're trusting your hardware, and homes to hobbyist developers that don't know what they're doing.

-Yet another.

'all eyes on code' BS

It's been over a year since the insufferable evangelists told us Wayland was ready. Well, just yesterday someone posted a video showing drag and drop still not working as it should.

Here's a comment from the thread:

"Kde is amazing and sucks at the same time." - Silver_Quail4018

-That's quite the participation trophy!

DistroTube just put a video out on Hyprland recently as well, and I couldn't believe all the hoops he had to jump through to get things to work.

And it's the same group of people that tell us how bad and insecure X11 supposedly is and how it's never been a better time to switch. -2024 and you can't even drag and drop.

One person mentioned how they didn't have the issue in Arch. -And people ask why people use Arch (because it's the most up to date and tested or 'cutting edge'?). -We all know the problems with Arch though.
