It depends, but it is promising.
If devs can have access to all of the hardware and related documentation and source code, then this is to become very good news.
PCs became popular and widespread because of that: openness.

Not even the next linked 3.
It's been our choice to drink this glass of wishful thinking while giving that company a solid dominant position in the market.
We ("you") can only make choices that will overturn that trend.
Fully opensource hardware with fully opensource software? Maybe, but also this is wishful thinking.
Privacy is more a dream than a real thing.

I hope we'll get there soon.
Yes.
Woot?
If it's 1st or 2nd, then it's ok.
Either this user is faking everything about the keyboard, or Apple is.
None is testing (the keyboard) at Apple? Possible, but unlikely.
None is checking test results at Apple, possible and much less unlikely.
They want you to forget about the keyboard and go all vocal because "it's easier"? Sure.
That user wants his/her 15 minutes og glory? Possible, but unlikely.
If you prepare a ligit-looking web page where you instruct people to download and run malware, we'd better learn more on security and caution before blindly follow those directions.
Why should it be Google's (or Bing's) duty to filter those out?
Go clone the repo and work on it.
Otherwise this discussion had ended since long.
And you can go with 120 or, better 210 so you get 7 in.
Pure madness.
1 kB is 1024 B. It's measurement unit thing. Not logics. 8 bits in a byte. Not 10, neither 6 nor 5. Just 8.
Like feet in yards, inches in feet, meters in kilometers and ounces in pounds.
It's 1024. Period.
Then of course you are free to count as many bytes as you want and call that bunch a kB.
Pretending anyone else will agree on that is a different thing.
Rust is a programming language. Performance is a mix of programmer's ability, clever design and compiler optimizations.
That would shake our knowledge from the foundations.
We all have optimizing compilers in 21st century, right?
So, "yes, compilers can have different speeds. No matter the language."
And "no, C and rust are both fast" unless compiler limitations kick in.

Linux is not good. Some hardware support is still reverse-engineering-based, or based on a few individuals best effort activity. Linux needs manufacturers' first hand commitment to quality opensource to be truly good.
Linux is not good. Some software is not on feature-parity among operating systems. With Linux being the software kingdom poor Cinderella. Linux needs software feature parity to be truly good.
Linux is not good. Because too much mainstream new PCs comes with some other operating system pre-installed (and paid for) even if you won't need it. Linux needs freedom of choice sing first PC power on, like a stub to download whatever OS you want (to pay for) or to boot from removable media for Linux to become truly good.
Linux is not good. Because there is still "stuff" that require some specific non-linux software running under some specific non-linux operating system to be made useful things. We need manufacturers to ditch this for linux to become truly good.
I am a happy user of Linux on my primary PC since 20+ years now. But I still have to fight for my freedom every now and again because of one or more of the above points.
Now let's jump back to gaming.
Linux is not good because game industry thinks proprietary platforms and operating systems are better for their business. There is only 1 platform fully supporting Linux and too few titles. Gaming Linux hardly hits 5% of the market share, basically the same as Desktop Linux. While Server Linux is beyond 75%.
I think reasons could be two-fold.
On one hand, Linux is not perceived by industry as attractive as other proprietary platforms. Maybe industry can squeeze much more money from the latter.
On the other hand, it could be that most of the development resources are NOT ORIENTED towards gaming and desktop, so these markets simply lag behind.
Of course, I could be totally wrong: these are my humble opinions with some facts backing them.
Live Long, Linux!
