Simultaneous cat and external keyboard input causing kernel panic (2011)
I misremembered, it was this one, about Linux mint and cinnamon screensaver (used as "lock screen" I guess):
https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-screensaver/issues/354
While searching I also found some issues with cat in the Ubuntu bug tracker:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug...
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1463112
- Linux Users need to be locked up and tortured for being annoying
- Screensaver lock by-pass via the virtual keyboard (2020)

Green Screen of Death
I'm not sure what you mean by "green screen of death", that isn't a common complaint. It could be a cinnamon-screensaver bug. An issue there would probably show up in the file ~/.xsession-errors and could be posted to the bug tracker https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-screensaver/issues
- Trying to make a suspend script but have a catch 22
- Lock Screen saver resets display config

Linux Mint Debian Edition 5 is here
What bug are you referring to? After searching I can only find references to bugs in cinnamon-screensaver and xorg-x11-server that have all been fixed.

- https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-25712
- https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon-screensaver/issues/354
Is there another bug that is long-standing and have not yet been fixed?

One of the greatest mysteries of decision-making in Dev ...
There’s also children hacking through the cinnamon screensaver

The File Filesystem
FFS predates FreeBSD and is in some capacity supported by all 3 major BSDs. I'm fairly confident that Linux actually supports it through the ufs driver ( https://github.com/torvalds/linux/tree/master/fs/ufs ); whether the use of different names in different places makes it better or worse is an exercise for the reader.

Linus Torvalds adds arbitrary tabs to kernel code
These are a bit easier to see what's going on:
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/d5cf50dafc9dd5faa1e...
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/d5cf50dafc9dd5faa1e61...
Unfortunately Github doesn't have a way to render symbols for whitespace, but you can tell by selecting the spaces that the previous version had leading tabs. Linus changed it so that the tokens `default` and the number e.g. `12` are also separated by a tab. This is tricky, because the token "default" is seven characters, it will always give this added tab a width of 1 char which makes it always layout the same as if it were a space no matter if you use tab widths of 1, 2, 4, or 8.

PfSense Software Embraces Change: A Strategic Migration to the Linux Kernel
There was also a Gentoo effort to run atop FreeBSD[0]. The challenge of course is that afaik none of the BSD kernel ABIs are considered stable. The stable interface is the BSD libc. That said, with binfmt_misc, I don't see a reason you couldn't just run (at least some) FreeBSD binaries on Linux with a thin syscall translation layer (rather something like qemu-system) and then your layer hooked via binfmt_misc. I'm not aware of anyone who has done this for FreeBSD, but prior efforts existed as alternate binfmts for SysVr4/5 ELF binaries[2]. Either way would take some elbow grease, but you *might* even be able just reuse binfmt_elf and just have a new interpreter for FreeBSD elf.

Improvements to static analysis in GCC 14
> The original less-than check was deemed incorrect
It was only deemed incorrect because of an information leak. Not because it's a valid use-case for user space to copy smaller portions of *hwrpb into user space. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/21c5977a836e399fc71...

TinyMCE (also) moving from MIT to GPL
Correct. And the combined work needs to carry the MIT license text and copyright attributions for the MIT software authors. With binary distribution it must also be overt, not hidden in some source code drop, but directly accompanying the binary.
Many people who talk about relicensing never credit the MIT developers or distribute the MIT license text. "Because it's GPL now."
I don't think that you believe that, but many developers do.
Some don't see the need for source code scans for Open Source compliance, because the license.txt says GPL, so it's GPL. Prime example is the Linux kernel. There is code under different licenses in there, but people don't even read https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/COPYING till the end ("In addition, other licenses may also apply.") and conclude it's simply GPL 2 and nothing else.
Also be aware that sublicensing is not the same as relicensing.

Linus Torvalds is looking for a more modern GUI editor
> Does he have something against it?
He notoriously hates GNU Emacs, yes.

The Linux Kernel Prepares for Rust 1.77 Upgrade
So If we would only count code and not comments, it is only 9489 LoC Rust. Which would be about 0.03% and if we take all lines and not only LoC it would be around 0.05%
