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.

Because Rust is in the Kernel now. :-p just joking, I'm a Rust fan myself!
The joke doesn't really make sense, Rust should only lower security problems. Except if C devs now try to use their old style of coding in Rust, with unsafe Rust.
That's the entire joke. It makes sense BTW. Just because Rust is in the Kernel, we blame it for the problems. Especially spicy, because it is meant to make it more secure. The opposite effect is here the joke. You may not find it funny, but it makes perfectly sense as a joke.
As I genuinely hate Rust, jokes about hating Rust aren't jokes for me lol
I have yet to find a joke everyone agrees on.^^ The perfect joke.
