Linus Torvalds da Dirk Hohndel , Daraktan Open Source a VMWare, ya yi magana game da makomar Linux da ci gaban wannan gagarumin aikin yayin babban taron kernel na farko saboda annoba.
A wannan Taron sun yi nazarin bangarori da yawa, daga sabon abu girman Linux 5.8 kwaya, kamar yadda muka ambata, zuwa wasu fannoni na makomar aikin. Dangane da girma, ya bayyana cewa tsarewar ya zama wani ɓangare ne da ake zargi, tare da ƙarin gudummawar da aka sa masu haɓaka a gida. Wato, SARS-CoV-2 na hanzarta wasu fasahohi.
Bugu da kari, ya tabbatar da hakan babu wani daga cikin masu cigaban da cutar ta shafaKodayake Torvalds ya damu da ɗayan masu haɓakawa wanda ya kasance ba layi na wata ɗaya ko biyu. Amma daga ƙarshe ya zama cewa matsalar ta kasance raunin maimaita rauni, wanda aka saba da shi tsakanin masu haɓaka software.
A nasa bangare, Hohndel yana ta magana game da bambancin ra'ayi a cikin al'umma ci gaban Linux, wani abu na yanzu saboda zanga-zanga da tarzoma da ke faruwa a duk duniya saboda mutuwar Floyd. Tare da wasu shugabannin bakaken fata kamar Kelsey Hightower da Byyan Liles, kodayake yawancinsu duk farare ne, tare da kasancewar Sinawa da Indiyawa da yawa kamar yadda yake bayyane a taron kolin da aka yi. A zahiri, Torvalds da kansa ya fahimci cewa akwai wasu al'ummomi, kamar na wasu ayyukan girgije, waɗanda suka fi su bambanci ...
Akwai kuma wurin zama aikin bita cewa suna yi yanzu, kuma wanda bisa ga Torvalds shine ainihin 'a zahiri wani abu mai mahimmanci, muna tsaftacewa da gyara matsala. […] Linux yana da ban dariya kuma ya kamata.«. Amma abin birgewa ne ga wasu, amma ga wasu yana da matukar ban sha'awa, musamman idan kuna son ma'amala mafi ƙarancin aiki tare da kayan aikin.
Game da Wiki makomar ci gaban LinuxNa riga nayi tsokaci a wasu lokuta cewa Linus ba zai dawwama ba, kuma Greg shine na hannun damansa wanda zai iya karɓar mulki. An kuma tattauna wannan matsalar a wannan taron, tunda galibin shugabannin yanzu sun wuce shekaru 50. Tabbacin Torvalds «A gare mu babu wani abin da ya fi ban sha'awa kamar yin ma'amala a ƙananan matakan tare da kayan aiki da kuma sarrafa duk abin da ke faruwa. Don haka kar a fahimce ni, mahimmai ba su da ban sha'awa, amma tabbas gaskiya ne cewa manyan mutane sun kasance shekaru da yawa. Haka ne, muna tsufa.".
Da yawa daga cikin tsofaffin masu haɓakawa Sun riga sun koma cikin kulawa da gudanarwa kuma sun bar layin ci gaba. Torvalds kansa batun ne: «Ba na son kalmar gudanarwa, saboda ban dauki kaina a matsayin mai gudanarwa ba, amma ainihin abin da nake yi ne.«. Yanzu masu haɓakawa a cikin shekaru 20 ko 30 sune waɗanda suke yin aikin gaske.
Bugu da ƙari, Torvalds tuna wata babbar matsala cewa suna da: "Ba mu da isassun masu kula. Ya juya, yana da matukar wahala a sami mutanen da ke kula da su. Abu ne mai ban sha'awa da kalubale, amma ɗayan mawuyacin halin kasancewa babban mai kulawa shine dole ne ku kasance a wurin koyaushe. Wataƙila ba awanni 24 bane a rana, amma duk ranar da kuka amsa ga imel, dole ne ku kasance a wurin. […] Yana ɗaukar lokaci, yana ɗaukar ƙwarewa. Yin hakan na wani lokaci, azaman mai kulawa daga ƙasa don fara rarrafe sannan kuma samun amintattun mutane.".
Hohndel ya kuma tambayi Torvalds game da ko za'a iya canza masu shirye-shiryen C zuwa sababbin masu shirye-shiryen COBOL daga shekara ta 2030. Linus ya amsa: «Ina tsammanin C har yanzu yana ɗaya daga cikin manyan harsuna 10. Mutane suna neman yin direbobi da abubuwan da basu da mahimmanci ga kwaya, misali a Rust. Mutane suna ganin hakan tsawon shekaru. Ina da yakinin hakan zai faru wata rana.»
Akwai ma dakin magana game da Apple da motsawarsa zuwa ARM, barin x86. Linus ya yi imanin cewa matsayi na yanzu na gine-ginen zai canza kuma ya tabbatar da cewa: «A cikin shekaru 10 da suka gabata ko fiye ina ta gunaguni cewa yana da wahala a sami kayan aikin ARM wanda zai iya amfani da su don ci gaba. Ya wanzu, amma har yanzu ba su kasance ainihin gasa ta x86 ba.«. Akwai abubuwa kamar AWS da masu sarrafa shi na Graviton, amma Torvalds baya son gajimare: «Mu masu haɓaka kernel muna son samun inji a gabanka. […] Na ƙi haɓaka ainihin abin da ba zan iya amfani da shi azaman tebur na ba".
Duk wannan, Hohndel yayi wargi yana cewa "Apple, idan kuna sauraro, sami Linus ɗayan kwamfyutocin hannu na hannu na farko".
