The article talks about sudo and doas being SUID binaries and having a larger attack surface than run0 would. Could someone ELI5 what this means?
Also there are 40-something packages depending on it, so I guess it gets pulled automatically when they are used.
You'll find an npm package to help you count up to 2.
(I recently learned - maybe here - that the is-even package has over 170k weekly downloads)
Why can't they (genuine question) ?
For the execution, can't you configure the fstab with noexec on partitions where the user has write permissions and give the user read-only permissions on the root partition ?
I think this would be fine for most jobs, the exception being software development where you usually need to execute stuff to test your programs.

Thanks for sharing, this looks awesome ! I can't waut for the opensource release.
Btw, did I skip through the article too fast or is tomhardware unable to provide links in its content ? /rant
Anyway, here are the ones that seemed relevant to me.
Official website (kinda empty at the moment, but it's going in my bookmarks)
Hackernews original discussion in which the author states:
Let's be clear here, this is a toy. Beyond being a fun project to work on that could maybe get my foot in the door were I ever to decide to change careers and move into hardware design, this is not going to change the GPU landscape or compete with any of the commercial players. What it might do is pave the way for others to do interesting things in this space. A board with all of the video hardware that you can plug into a computer with all the infrastructure available to play around with accelerating graphics could be a fun, if extremely niche, product. That would also require a significant time and money investment from me, and that's not something I necessarily want to deal with. When this is eventually open-sourced, those who really are interested could make their own boards.
I've installed and used it, and still do.
My internet connection is not that reliable, and when I download big files that are not torrents (say >1000 MB) and the download is interrupted because of internet disconnect, Firefox often has trouble getting back to it while FDM doesn't.
FDM also lets me set download speed limits, which means I can still browse the internet while downloading.
It's not my main tool for downloading stuff, but it has its uses.
