From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rust has no Undefined Behaviour.

That is simply not true. See here for a list of behavior that is considered undefined in Rust: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/behavior-considered-undefined.html

However, most (all?) of these require the use of unsafe, which helps narrow down where the problem might be, if you trigger any of this behavior

That is simply not true.

Yeah that is correct.

I was thinking in Safe Rust alone, snd forgot about Unsafe Rust.

Because I have so far never used Unsafe Rust.
