What about quad9? Do they log queries?
People don't really love chrome, but they do love meat. Go vegan suggests we get rid of something we love.
Freespace Intro.
This would have made a great movie.
I agree with you sentiment here. That's why I wrote 'relative terms' in my comment.
Since Nadela took over, Microsoft did some open thing which benefited community. So, Microsoft opened somewhat.
During the same time, under Pichai, google went the other way: they focus more on monetization and try to control stuff the apple way. Manifest v3? Google also didn't do anything really worth mentioning in the last 10y in terms of products. Well, except 'attention' article. And even this they didn't believe in and they cannot deliver a decent product. I just tried google advanced Gemini and it's, to put it politely, shit. Google also had some positive actions like mainlining a lot of stuff in Linux Kernel to more easily upgrade android.
So, while google is closing down and making mistakes, Microsoft is opening a bit up.
If you look the state from the last year and the state now. Microsoft improved. Google went the other way.
Microsoft doesn't care about open source, they care about the money Cloud Services using open source bring them. I don't think google cares as well. For reason read this: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/06/12/strategy-letter-v/
This draws parallels with tolerance paradox.
This was a great talk (video you linked, not the article). Wonder what Linus would say about C being a wrong thing today.
I'm a beginner as well and I found Alaska Linux user channel on yt a good source for explanations. First videos are a bit outdated... some new tech like Soong was introduced - which is a new, google developed, build system for Android.

Go to the playlist section. It groups videos per topic, e.g. building a device tree from scratch.
S8 is a not a good choice If I remember correctly, no custom roms exist for that phone. Reasons might be due to exynos of that era...
It looks very interesting.
I might be wrong, but it seems to me like Vulkan Support in hw is better than opengl:
- amd since at least Polaris (there is a project to Bring vulkan to really old terrascale graphics, but is jot yet there)
- Intel since idk ~~broadwell~~ Skylake
- Nvidia proprietary for sure don't know since when and it seems that focus on nvk (new open source driver) is going to be on vulkan
- android since version 7 - Eighty-five percent of active Android devices support Vulkan (this is better than android Version Rollout) https://developer.android.com/games/develop/use-vulkan
- rpi, not sure which versions
Probably all of them have better Vulkan than opengl drivers (due to drivers being simpler). David Arlie rather quickly implemented first Vulkan driver for AMD once Vulkan was first released. Just in case you need incentive.
I was thinking of starting something similar as a learning exercise, but I'm really limited in time and not skilled as much in c++, so it would probably lead nowhere. Now I can just build on top - if I get any time for this, will come probably with questions.
Anyway, this idea was to make something modern. Without the legacy crap. Actual goals were:
- Vulkan only (move gfx API Info the future)
- no x/xwayland (most of the apps in newer toolkits already support Wayland, the others I'd rather avoid)
- Multithreaded
Do you plan to use vulkan wmi in any way?
Can xwayland be excluded?

I think this number is overblown. Production useful doesn't have to mean 1:1.
Running it without all graphics drivers would be fine for server use. Also, not all filesystems need to be ported: basic ones should be enough for start. But not only servers, home routers run Linux kernel...
If every OEM starts contributing their drivers in rust, this could move quickly...
