cPanel is Perl.

Yes. Perl for core backend logic, automation, legacy systems, APIs. Some other languages used for bits and pieces.

How I read it is that the Android kernel disables the features 2 of the exploits used, and even if it did they're all caught by selinux.

People will just turn SELinux off rather than have to go through the horrible tooling when it breaks a regular use case.

I do think SELinux is a good example of how robust software with poor UX/DX gets undermined by that poor UX/DX. Although I do wonder if AI can help with it?

There is also the Android way, this is how it goes, fix your apps.

It is enabled by default on Android, and only developers can change it temporarly via an ADB session.

> necessary for a CRUD app that does maybe forty requests a second.

That's a DoS attack in the python world.

A few of the recent XDA posts about Linux are shitting on game developers for not supporting anti-cheat on Linux, claiming it's a simple switch and they're bad for not doing it.

So not an expert on Linux by any means.

Or just use systemd-boot which uses BLS thus there are no config files.

BLS means many config files instead of one, not zero config files.

> BLS means many config files instead of one

Which ones? If you want to all you need is a single UKI in /EFI/Linux and everything is synthesized from that.

systemd-boot's automatic sourcing of UKIs isn't a BLS thing. This is BLS:

Type2 loader entries are just UKIs[1]. I don't know what you are implying with "systemd-boot's automatic sourcing of UKIs isn't a BLS thing"? Any way I try to interpret it, neither would the Type1 entries fall under the definition of automatic sourcing (neither anything any other bootloader does).

Red Hat will also support you using 15 year old versions of Linux if you pay them enough, the military love that.

Linux distributions shouldn't ship with Steam installed and imho bundling it makes a bad precedent.

Steam should be easy to install (whether from a store like Flathub) instead.

Why? With Bazzite and similar that's kind of the whole point of them existing. Just installing Steam from Flathub or the repo is not going to get the same level of integration (gaming mode, etc.). Bazzite works really well on my PC handheld and I don't think a generic distro with Steam added after the fact would be the same. Id you want a distro without Steam bundled there are lots of those.

This shows a weakness than in the Linux desktop ecosystem that something has to be bundled to correctly integrate with the system.

It's no different to Chinese OEMs bundling additional stores with their phones.

Microsoft had to bundle an Xbox gaming mode to compete. It's not a normal app.

It's a quid pro quo from Valve. They are investing profusely in Linux ecosystems, and the distro-devs are following that. Meanwhile Epic Games still lacks a first-party app on linux, and users need to pass from Lutris, Heroic etc...

Just use Flathub on Fedora for anything proprietary including codecs. Leave dnf/rpm for system software / updates.

Nvidia is pretty simple, you can either enable the driver via the UI or just follow the rpmfusion guide.

You could get a board built on the PS5 APU (BC-250) for cheaper than that.

£150 plus taxes. By the time you add a PSU, a case, and a good controller, it's pretty close.
