With Manjaro’s Settings Manager I was able to install it before it hits Arch’s repositories as default, and I’ve been running it this morning. Manjaro has one of the cleanest ways to manage kernels or switch to real time kernels.

noob alert i heard a while back that the linux kernel was getting “Rusty.” why change to Rust when you have C, and does this not create backward compatibility issue?
and also, does Linus Torvalds always release the kernel updates himself? and does this mean that we are doomed if he dies (like the shit that went down the Tolkien died, with the lame Lord of the Rings crap)
I seem to remember rust support was for writing drivers. Rust is the new language to get rid of buffer overflows and memory issues the programmer in C had to manage manually, so much more secure. And Linus just manages the kernel and doesn’t contribute code, so it should continue just fine without him. And it’s open source, so it can be forked if people don’t like its direction at any time. And there are alternative kernels you can install now that have real time functionality, better timing… if you have a need.
