Side question; is phenylephrine applied topically under the eyes good for reducing the appearance of dark circles?

I've seen some anecdotes suggesting this due to its vasoconstrictive effects

Shame about the lack of a stable kernel driver ABI/API in Linux otherwise this kernel could inherent a lot of drivers.

[apatheticonion]

Do other mainstream kernels have a stable driver API?

I guess the NT kernel needs to. Does Darwin?

To be fair Aester is just a monolithic kernel that philosophically quarantines unsafe code to the lowest level of the kernel.

You still have kernel modules for microkernel-like functionality

I wish I could work on this as my paid day job.

As soon as I can financially retire, I'll make contributing to this my full time job!

I think Windows makes up 10% of Microsoft's revenue - which isn't a small dollar amount but is minor compared to their other divisions.

I suspect Microsoft is looking for ways to extract value from Windows rather than thinking about the OS as the critical computing infrastructure that it is.

Who knows where this road will end up. Maybe EU regulators will ensure there is a clean build of Windows available for those savvy enough to install it?

Maybe international governments will deem Windows a liability/threat and investment in Linux will increase?

Microsoft have the enterprise space locked down with Windows, many of the enterprise architects I've spoken to know little-to-nothing about Linux and have high praise for Active Directory. A transition away from Windows feels impractical - which further justifies the risk

Most of the enterprise architects I've met know very little about computers, let alone Linux.
