▲ 111 ▼ Ubuntu explores replacing gnu utils with rust based uutils (www.cyberciti.biz) submitted 1 year ago by Zenlix@lemm.ee to c/linux@lemmy.ml 64 comments fedilink hide all child comments At first I was sceptical, but after a few thought, I came to the solution that, if uutils can do the same stuff, is/stays actively maintained and more secure/safe (like memory bugs), this is a good change. What are your thoughts abouth this?
[–] DeuxChevaux@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (3 children) I wonder whether Linux Mint will follow suit? permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] suicidaleggroll@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago* (1 child) Mint is basically Ubuntu with all of Canonical's BS removed. This definitely counts as Canonical BS, so I'd be surprised if it made its way into Mint. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] easily3667@lemmus.org 1 point 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 year ago Likely not anytime soon as they tend to hold off latest features and prefer older (but maintained) LTS versions of just about everything. Also especially not if it turns out to be a bad idea; they explicitly build Mint without Snaps since their inclusion in the Ubuntu base. permalink fedilink source parent [–] fatur0000new@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) As I recall Ubuntu will allow to switch uutils to coreutils. So it looks like Linux Mint will continue to use coreutils permalink fedilink source parent
