Beginner friendly deep dive into the latest kernel!

My notes:

I forgot to say it in the vid, BIG thank you to Phoronix and LWN, couldn't do it without them!

49:20 I thought EEVDF already replaced CFS in Linux 6.6?

It was noted to be "incomplete" at the time iirc.

You somehow managed to explain a kernel change log in a way that non-kernel devs can understand while still being entertaining. Bravo!

RT is all about _deterministic behavior_ not hard time scales. The point is knowing _exactly_ how a complex system will behave. For example, knowing how much cpu time a processes will have _and when._ It does not mean your "script" will always run in exactly the same time, just in a predictable time. In the CNC example, inputs (interrupts) will be processed in a known time range.

This is the best kernel series ever, I've seen no other place talk about the linux kernel with this much detail and hype.

I do appreciate the fire wire support because you have alot of people who have old tape recorders that will one day want to transfer their old memories from the tapes to the PC and without that stupid apple fire wire support they would be screwed. I being one of those people. So happy to have the support. Thank you Takashi Sakamoto.

Youtube algorithm, just recommended this video, and channel that explains in depth an Linux Kernel release 👍

Oh my god, amazing video! Not only reading changes, but giving practical examples. Dude, you are awesome, instant subscribe!

Please don't stop saying scheduler that way just to piss off the guy who said "please stop saying scheduler that way".

Wow i thought, that i would just watch for 10 minutes or so but you posted an entire hour of material and its great!

Thank you for this insightful video. I never knew there was so much involved behind the scenes of the Kernel. I knew it was involved, but this was all next level. Exciting stuff.

36:15 musicians are still using firewire. audio interfaces are expensive, and music ppl get weird about the specific analog characteristics of stuff, so there's a strong incentive to never replace a known-good interface. i imagine a lot of scientific and industrial fields also make use of older firewire gear that's still decades away from obsolescence

I watch your video at normal speed and I enjoy it

[KoopstaKlicca]

When I clicked the video I thought it was going to be a brief update lol Didn't expect an hour long video. Glad I stuck with it though for the qr code feature at least lol that's pretty sick

[Cskillzs]

Bro is getting roasted for a good video, the internet is ruthless 💀

[billbond]

holy shit, GREAT INFORMATION . subscribed

Dev: Accidentally introduced 2ms delay.
CEO: Great work! Here's your golden trophy.

[gautam]

Thanks again, your kernel updates videos are always very informative

Excited for ext3, also eBPF if you remember ;)

[julesoscar]

As a french, i really couldn't care less how you say scheduler

[Lucien]

Good vid. Very cool that we can just listen with no need to watch the screen.
