the kernel is also very fun to accidentally brick! fixing your system for 5 hours a day is an enjoyable hobby and has no significant consequences on my school and work life at all!

Gosh, seriously thank you! I have tried to understand for seriously a couple years now and I couldn't wrap my mind around what a kernel actually is and kept reading conflicting statements. This was clear, concise, and just clicked. Thanks <3

Kernel compilation video and gentoo stuff ? sign me up :eyes:
This channel is too underated, what i love the most are the quick explainations, the video just seamlessly flows together, unlike some more precise and "professional" content. Keep it up :)

[Cuqerr]

Nice video! I am looking forward to seeing the kernel compilation and Gentoo video!

[noel_curray]

thank you for explaining it in a way I understand. I like the explanation about the monolithic side of the kernel and the modprobe pcspkr.

[botagozrahat]

Wow thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏 the most helpful explanation so far

[avi_]

Great job! That’s what I needed. Quick and simple explanation 🙏

[averageChoom]

subscribed! looking forward for more tutorials, and explanations

It's the thing that makes your computer do stuff, next question

IDK how it is at your place but ATMs in germany do usually use Windows and it is quite common to see them bluescreen or in headless mode.

Was a good basic explanation, but to do the actual programming, this crowd will need to learn how to program in C to fully understand the how. Loading and unloading kernel modules is what most standard Linux system administrators will be required to understand and know how to do.

Please make a video about "Enhancing Unix Kernel".

[qcyqjhj]

when the kernel breaks something like the wifi. can that be fixed ?

[VEKTOR_]

I want to compile my own kernel

I'm interested since I was 17 (2018)

can you provide any articles or links which I can use to learn

[owencox]

these negatives are entirely easily avoidable... the goat kernel

Incorrect a kernal is what gets stuck in your teeth after you eat popcorn.

[barrydu]

Linux system is used in a toaster, really ?

You've got a bit of a weird video going on here - you're addressing the audience as if they were developers, but most developers would know the rudimentaries of an OS. I came here, really to see what the differences are between it and other OSs <hack-cough-windows-cough>. Still interesting to me, but you might lose non-techies along the way.

a bunch of nerds with opinions on mailing lists?
