How exactly does a sun set? How exactly does a posi-trac rear end on a Plymouth work? It just does!
That rabbit hole just absorbed a bunch of time.
What's a good modern mailing list visualizer?
The high-quality of debian packages is supposed to be a myth if you compared package amount with the available staff actually being able to check packages.
How do Debian and other distros feel about Rust? It's a fantastic language that can improve security, but it doesn't have a stable ABI and they don't really do the whole dynamically linked library thing.
It's a really good question which seems to have a complicated answer. This page here led me to this here (among other documents).
The short of it seems to be have that if you think of Rust in terms of "crates" instead of "libraries", then it's still possible to package in a way that conforms to Debian's self-contained avoid-redundancy style, though the details of it seem a bit tricky.
Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
