I am reminded of Pulse on BeOS, which would allow you to disable CPUs on a multiprocessor system by simply unchecking a box in the UI.

There was nothing stopping you from disabling all CPUs.

@foone maybe the author doesn't know what RAM is and all state is saved by directly mem-mapping the exe?

AFAIK the main problem is that the venn diagram of people liking systemd enough to work on it and people liking musl enough to work on it is two nearly separate circles. So there's nobody to flesh it out.

Congratulations to the MDN team on such an awesome milestone. I'm happy that we've played some small part in its history and I'm excited to see how it continues to be central to every web developers job.

After helping five friends in the last two months transition from #windows to #linux here are my thoughts:

1. Show case both #kde and #gnome before you pick it form them. 2/5 Decided to try KDE because it reminded them of Windows and the rest wanted Gnome because they where tired of windows UI
2. Do not fill their head with distros, go with one where it is easy to get support. I went with @fedora as it is the one I know best and like the resource for. So far only one has swapped (to Ubuntu)
