Linus Torvalds delves into the challenges in Linux development, the importance of swift security responses, and artificial intelligence’s (AI) future role in kernel programming.

Step by step, the Rust programming language is moving deeper into the Linux kernel.

The memory safe programming language will join C and the other traditional languages developers use to create new pieces and drivers of the ubiquitous open source kernel.

An analysis of the 5.7 million lines of Linux source code shows that it contains fewer bugs per thousand lines of code than commercial counterparts. By Michelle Delio.
