Ah. Gotcha. Agreed.

Ladybird says 2026. Given the current state and progress, I believe it may be quite usable by then. I use it sometimes for basic surfing and leaving forum comments. It works surprisingly well often though it is still far from general use. I think the dev team tries to use it themselves for things like Discord and GutHub. They did a demo last month where it “almost” ran Gmail.
I am not sure that Servo has set a timeline. I expect it to take longer.
I prefer permissive licenses but how do they reduce legal risks?
Servo is developed by Igalia at this point. Mozilla is not involved.
Quite happy to see Servo coming along again. I am still excited for Ladybird and it seems more likely to deliver a truly viable browser sooner.
I am not a Swift dev but I think it has decent memory safety as well. I think it is one of the reasons Ladybird is moving to it. They evaluated Rust and decided it lacked the OOP features they needed.
The C++ that Ladybird writes is also very good. They have their own standard library (written for SerenityOS) which is very modern including memory safety and security. Still C++ though of course.
Sort of. The person that made the initial commit is not the one that quit (Rust side).
You said “full”. So the short answer is no.
You can import and export to CMYK and handle CYMK in some tools but, internally, GIMP is still sRGB.
I think one of the devs wants to add full CMYK and Lab colour fairly soon after 3.0 but it is hard to say how fast dev will go. Getting to 3.0 has take forever but a lot of the plumbing is there now. There were big features only appearing in 2.99 for years. I do not think they will need to hold back like that again, so perhaps things will seem to go faster now.
The other big thing that is only “partial” is non-destructive editing.
Looking forward to Ladybird but it is very early days. Have been using Zen a lot. And Orion on iPhone.
FreeBSD is supporting OCI containers natively. If the app in your container can run on Linuxulator, it will run on FreeBSD (natively on the FreeBSD kernel).
They want it to be able to host Kubernetes on FreeBSD.
I honestly do not remember if I used SLS or Yggdrasil first. I know that I used SLS longest. I think I tried Yggdrasil in second and then went back.
I was all in on Red Hat when they came along but did move to Mandrake for quite a while (sweet i586 packages). It is all a bit of a blur after that but a fairly long Fedora stint. The only thing I never used much was Ubuntu.
