The angry young man from Berlin. René you are deep in my heart!

Again I’m tired that these developers are living in their comfort of six fighters when they perform like this it’s the same thing with the llvm devs 🤦‍♂️

Linux is cool but so are FreeBSD OpenBSD and NetBSD which hopefully get more and more widespread

I'm from a completely different industry, but I really enjoy watching videos from professionals :)

I send you this in the hope that you feel a bit better: ❤️ Ich sende dir ein Herz weil ich ein sehr emphatischer Mensch bin und dich voll und ganz verstehen kann. LG dein Nejat Hakan

you're amazing ❤

I'm surprised he didn't start swearing in german at some point

If you want clean code write the kernel from scratch itself. Why don't people understand that in critical software like kernel its better to not "fix" code that does the job.

Rene dives deeper and deeper into insanity.

I feel ya. You are working really hard, but others don't give a damn and break stuff all over the place, and you have to fix it in order to do your work.

another banger 🔥 👌 🙌

I mean, if the Gnome foundation had a "Business Shaman" advising them, i don't want to know the kind of structure the LF has 😂😂.

i love german zhings

This is the content I subscribe for. Not salty, just passionate.

you use hyprland?

I know I'm a messy coder, first thing I've been told was "never assume anything".

To preface this: I have found your videos tremendously fascinating, and as such they have inspired me to pursue writing low-level software, despite the fact that I am a senior/intermediate python developer by trade. I am currently about 75% through my chip8 interpreter! I really found bitwise operations intuitive, and figured out that taking a number and dividing it by 2 is the same as, for example, shifting bits once to the right. All very incredibly fascinating "bits" of information. That being said, your burnout is palpable within the first several minutes of the video. From one person to another - stress and burnout can almost literally "eat" white matter in your brain. I cannot emphasize the importance of a modest vacation away from all things tech-related, enough. Life is so very short, and we only have one. Perhaps you might take what I am saying with a grain of salt, and that is perfectly fine. I am not here to dictate what you should do - but in my opinion, your body is very much like a temple. At least consider the notion that, someday, on your deathbed, you will probably not be thinking "If only I wrote one more line of code, made another patch, fixed another bug..." Maybe it's time to get around to traveling to that country that you've always wanted to visit. Maybe it's time to reach out to an old friend that has been on your mind. Maybe it's time to visit that other hobby that you've been thinking about spending more time on, whatever that may be. I don't know, because I don't know you. What I do know, however, is that time waits for absolutely nobody - and regret is one hell of a beast.

Well deserved rant. You are doing God's work Rene.

Recently AMD Ryzen 3 1300 just broke on newer kernels. I managed to boot it up in MBR mode because in UEFI NVIDIA card just showed black screen, but anyway, it kernel panicked about not being able to allocate high precision timer. Kernel was from Arch Linux (guys, just switch to linux-lts package, make yourself a favor), but they not doing much with it so I doubd the situation would change with another distro. The solution was to switch to another lying-around CPU, lol, still I would like to fix this shit but don't know where to start either, too much to learn at a time and my budget will not cover the all coffee that I would need for this.

other pickles code 🥒🥒🥒 😂

Very good rant. I hope this "clean code" nonsense will not affect your passion for coding. Thanks for keeping things running.

At this point I'm only waiting for the Linux foundation to delete the entire kernel, because no code is cleanest code!

I support you. You are gem 💎

i felt the rage all the way from bayern

"If it works, don't touch it"

OK you meantioned ppl like to chat dont take negativity seriously if someone is being negative then it may not be correct, isnt it? When a piece of information is correct usually its in a positive tone, positive sentiment, positive frame, and the context is correctly communicated, isnt' it ? Sorry if Esoteric.

Dude invest a little tooling for Life where you can do what you want to do a bit more chill because if you stare at the code without breaks your body may not be able to take the stress. Destress with the right tooling for the right job. Also code writing and debugging should be more easier now with latest tools such as when you click on thing in the code the IDE tells you wheere it came from and other info about it etc everything should be a bit easier.

Creaste a buy-me-a koffe page and put it everywhere, let people know like seriously that you are a linux dev and you accept donations. This way at least people will 1. know and 2. be one click away from donating whatever they can.

This world has much anger, but it's not well directed most of the time. Your anger hits the spot, nobody else rants about Linux like this. Keep it up!

it is bizarre, that in like 10 years it will be more likely to have PS3 emulators running linux, that actual consoles running linux. That is ofc if anybody would even care about doing it 🤯

cleanup code without testing?

take it easy bro!

how come do you use vi to edit?

I am not in Linux world, I also have no clue what you are talking about but I am behind you 100%.

Rene, do not give up because of foolish individuals. You're teaching us the amazing capabilities of Linux.

This is really interesting, as I was looking into PS3 Linux just recently. Developing anything for the PS3 is probably an uphill battle, but I appreciate the work for it regardless. I think the PS3 is an underappreciated console compared to it's predecessor and successor, and it's good we can run free software on it.

I don't know pretty much anything about kernel development or its guidelines, but where has he talked about this "clean code initiative"? I have only heard him say about not breaking user space, and that his own "optimized code" may not be very readable. Thanks.

This is the best rant I have ever heard. I am not an expert by any stretch but I learn so much watching your videos on bug fixes.

who tf is using a PS3 with Linux in 2024, jesus christ. In any case, if nobody pays you for this niche bullshit why are you bothering? That's what i don't understand, why do you care if Linux works on old architectures from the 90s or obscure server processors from Intel that flopped, or PS3s from the early 2010s If none of those weird enthusiasts that wanna use such machinery are willing to pay you, why are you bothering? The Linux foundation absolutely does not give a flying f*** about PS3 support in 2024 and i doubt any of their reviewers have old Itanium machines lying around to test people's commits. So it really is a lonely job and if people aren't even paying you guys for it, i don't see the point

Brave, but one person shouldn't take care of so much dependencies that would please the last 50 people on Earth not giving up running Linux on PS3 or something. I've seen nice projects dying because of this. The Linux kernel should get rid of unmaintainable code.

I feel bad for Rene... let's push his channel, so he gets 600k as well! And yes, pls a follow up rant on Web dev and Apple walled garden.

I'm so sorry, take care Rene.

I know that you are working on a microkernel, when do you think it will be finished?

The ego required to think that you can rewrite a driver for a gaming console better than the company who manufactured it, WITHOUT TESTING IT, is crazy. I get that they have to do it because of the changing driver API and stuff, but kernel devs shouldn't be allowed to make changes to drivers that they can't test. If you don't have a PS3, you shouldn't be allowed to touch this code, period.

You need to relax my dude, it's just code.

I'm ignorant so I'm wondering why you are patching this and not the person who wrote the buggy code.

You're my idol man... don't give up cause of stupid people.

Watching Terry Davis videos and now I'm getting the sacrilegious Linux videos in my feed

you da goat 💯

The content of the Linux kernel has never been well discussed, but is added casually and then waits for reviewers to pass. This is the behavior of the big bazaar, so macos abandoned it very well.
