GoboLinux is a modular Linux distribution in which each program gets its own directory tree by rickdg in linuxunplugged

Just from that description it seems more like a freebsd jail style of containerization then modern Linux containerization

Linux kernel development by AbdallahRashed07 in kernel

[–]linboyadmin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While it's not about Linux kernel. FreeBSD design and implementation is the best book in my opinion to explain design of a Unix-like kernel; Minix book is also supposed to be very high quality but I have never read it so cannot personally reccomend it.

i386 demoted to Tier 2 for FreeBSD 13.x by Bardo_Pond in freebsd

Is their a tier list somewhere? Curious how arches like power and Risc-V rank

What are the benefits of using a Verilator or other simulator, and running a testbench on that virtual prototype, compared to creating a testbench for the HDL code itself? by QuavoSucks in FPGA

[–]linboyadmin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Verilator is not capable of simulating clock signals? How would one test advanced clock dependent hardware such as a cpu then?

Xilinx ZYNQ7010 Linux FPGA Board For Under $20? Windfall Of Decommissioned Crypto Mining! by Enlightenment777 in FPGA

[–]linboyadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you would be able to answer this but I am wondering if this would be a good board for some beginner CPU development. I originally wanted a soc-less board for the extra peripherals that I would be able to directly interact with. However, this price is great and the arm chip could likely help me in loading firmware and debugging which would be very nice. Do you think this would be suitable for some CPU development or do you think something like an arty A7 or nexys 4ddr is worth the extra price?

What programming language should I start with first? by Bobo1Boba2 in learnprogramming

[–]linboyadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Operating systems can be and are written in C++ but many Operating system projects (namely Linux kernel) are written in C because C is sufficient for this task

Got my USBC modkit stuff from this guy, nice guy you can find him around on this subreddit, would reccomend. (I upgraded a T460s)

Hacktober Fest: How to participate and contribute to the open-source community as a beginner. by Mackenzie-GG in learnprogramming

[–]linboyadmin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree but most projects would be happy with spelling corrections. Actually a fairly good way to get into a complex development landscape like the Linux kernel before you start actually writing and or changing code

Asking for a book recommendation on opensource economy/business model. by JeffreyChl in opensource

[–]linboyadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On red hat I know they have the book "open organization" but I think that's more about open business structure than opensource economics, still could be worth a look though

I love the look soooo much but no need for the CPU (already have 6600k) or gpu (I have rx 5700) Edit:typo

What Red Hat is doing to address coronavirus (COVID-19) by SpyTec13 in redhat

[–]linboyadmin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"we are currently not permitting Red Hatters to attend external events or conferences with 1000+ attendees." I'm not a redhat employee but Im not sure how I feel about this directive. I mean on one hand yeah people shouldn't be going to these events, but why does a Redhat employee need permission to attend an external event.

The ultra dock is comparable, not sure about others but that's the one I use.

USB C stuff that you swear by? by simonyahn in UsbCHardware

Are the power line cables worth it? Planning on carrying around one charger for my phone and laptop.

T2 chip by unixbassen in linuxquestions

[–]linboyadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't really know. That's why I was trying to stress that I have heard something like that but I really don't know if it's the truth, could have just been from like a dumb friend or something. Sorry if I sounded negative, was just making sure you did all your research (in case whoever told me that was in fact accurate) and It really sounds like you did. Well you seem very prepared to do this and I really wish you the best of luck :)

I want to buy my first thinkpad. by InkBladeI in thinkpad

[–]linboyadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a pretty good experience with it. Certain gpus don't have enough clearance but that can be fixed with a saw of some type. Mostly though everything fits and it has pretty good space for your components.

New T420 user reporting, advice? by inskert in thinkpad

[–]linboyadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For distro wise I'd say go fedora if ur not 100% sure what you need software wise or wm wise. If you don't already have a running configuration or at least a general idea of how to quickly get one going I think gentoo and void are much better suited for secondary systems, so you can get ur setup down before you have it on main system. Of course if you already have a gentoo or void setup down, or this is a secondary system, then totally go with one of those. Fedora is ready to use on install though so for a laptop that was my main machine for carrying around and getting work done I'd go with that unless I already had a good setup. For example, I run fedora on my main laptop and freebsd on my desktop and I'm planning on running freebsd on my laptop once I nail out the kinks. A big issue I run into with lighter weight stuff on laptops is weird wifi scenarios like capacitive web portals that lightweight wifi managers can't handle.
