Strap in, get ready for more Rust Drivers in Linux Kernel.
Rust is alive and well in the Linux kernel and is expected to translate into noticeable benefits shortly, though its integration with the largely C-oriented codebase still looks uneasy. [The Linux and Rust communities still have some issues to work out.]

Question for #linux #kernel developers out there. If I want to do Kernel development as a career, should I study Electrical Engineering or Computer Science?
I recently was admitted into an engineering school and am faced with this challenging decision. It would be my dream to work for #RedHat, #Intel, #AMD, #Linaro, #arm or #NVIDIA working on Linux Kernel dev.
Very happy to announce my book The Linux Memory Manager is now available to pre-order at
https://nostarch.com/linux-memory-manager
It's a comprehensive 1,300 page exploration of how memory functions in Linux that goes into great depth on the subject, and is the first book of its kind for 20 years :)
I've played a bit with the #TODOmd hook and I know how many TODOs there are in some popular Open Source projects:
* CPython: 187 TODOs
* Linux: 3788 TODOs
* Git: 112 TODOs
* Go: 455 TODOs
What other Open Source projects should I enhance with the TODO.md file?:)
@geerlingguy It has been 0 Days since Jeff compiled the #Linux #Kernel. I hope you are wearing your shirt.
Imagine being a mechanic for Mercedes and receiving an email from a customer who complains about leaky doors and strange engine noises – and only after four or five tedious mails back and forth you figure out the car was bought from modder who added gullwing doors, shortened the wheelbase, and added twin turbochargers.
I guess that's how #Linux developers feel when they find out the bug someone reported only happens with a heavily modified #kernel like those shipped in RHEL, SLES, or Ubuntu.
FreeBSD Project-provided repositories for kernel modules in the ports collection
<https://old.reddit.com/r/freebsd/comments/1hd2h51/freebsd_projectprovided_repositories_for_kernel/>
― I should advise awaiting an official announcement before attempting to use overlay repos such as these.
「Credit to monwarez in FreeBSD Discord for raising awareness.」
Thanks to @FreeBSDFoundation @emaste and others for works in progress.
