What parts did they include from Servo?
I’m curious about why they aren’t stable yet. It’s been a while. And there should be a lot incentives. Like cash. If one wants some.
My guess is that something is not right with the project or the chosen technology. And that some other project will be first to deliver the new memory safe browser engine reference implementation. Maybe I’m just being grumpy.
Firefox (or some derivative). But I guess the real solution is to make that Linux switch.
I wish Ununtu Touch switched name, since its neither Ubuntu nor Canonical any longer.
Debian and then maybe Guix on top of that. Rootless Podman for services.
There is no good reason to choose Arch in 2025. If you want to feel special, NixOS or Guix System is the way to go.
I think Guix is way more coherent than Nix. It also has better documentation and a more friendly community. And you use Scheme instead of Nix lang.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Apertus: a fully open, transparent, multilingual language model
22·5 months agoA fully open-source LLM
As a fully open language model, Apertus allows researchers, professionals and enthusiasts to build upon the model and adapt it to their specific needs, as well as to inspect any part of the training process. This distinguishes Apertus from models that make only selected components accessible.
“With this release, we aim to provide a blueprint for how a trustworthy, sovereign, and inclusive AI model can be developed,” says Martin Jaggi, Professor of Machine Learning at EPFL and member of the Steering Committee of the Swiss AI Initiative. The model will be regularly updated by the development team which includes specialized engineers and a large number of researchers from CSCS, ETH Zurich and EPFL.
Its good for legacy MATLAB projects. Use Python for new projects.

Linux@programming.dev•Former Linux user looking for stable distro
3·5 months agoIf one wants rolling, I would suggest NixOS, Guix System or Tumbleweed. Or something container based like Silverblue or openSUSE micro.
But rolling doesn’t really make sense. Just go with Debian/Leap and then use Flatpak, podman, Nix and/or Guix on top of that. For Desktop.

Linux@programming.dev•Former Linux user looking for stable distro
12·5 months agoWhen did you try Debian? Nvidia should be quite painless since they added the official non free repo. But make sure to install a backports version of the kernel and firmware. And modern apps should be installed with flatpak.
Anyway. I suggest that you try Debian again. There is nothing better out there.

My guess is that it to some degree has been replaced by Yocto, NixOS and Guix System. But I’m really interested in what some actual users has to say (write).
