From what I've read it only got caught because some OCD Microsoft guy was being obsessive and noticed the login taking 500ms longer than it should.

We're lucky that was caught at all.

I read the same thing. Makes you wonder what else has gone unnoticed.

A big strength of the Linux system is it's obsessed cult members. I say that with jest. Like like so many others out there, they put in a lot of thankless hours to make a truly open and competitive alternative.

I truly hope one day people see just what this OS is offering.

It is because of all the Rust code being added to the Linux Kernel.
