Great!  Stallman and his bloated, gaseous carcass will be lowered into

The problem is that, so far, they aren't entirely compatible with the
originals. Since they will be written in Rust, you can also expect their
performance to drop significantly. This idea will only serve to make
Linux more unstable while ironically looking to do the opposite.

I might have to (eventually) move to the Debian-based version of Linux Mint.
Although I don't think Linux Mint is moving to Rust... not yet anyway.

Ubuntu has already slowed itself down with all the Snaps. If their
performance takes another hit by using Rust then there's even less reason to
use Ubuntu — especially on older equipment like mine.
