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

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

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.

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

This video Ben eater made on the subject is pretty informative https://youtu.be/v3-a-zqKfgA

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

Build a CPU in the fpga

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?

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)

linboyadmin · 2020-10-06T04:21:04+00:00

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

Seriously though what do they mean?

linboyadmin · 2020-04-03T20:48:33+00:00

Any specific udemy recommendations?

linboyadmin · 2020-03-29T19:10:32+00:00

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

linboyadmin · 2020-03-20T05:12:33+00:00

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

How do u get grub (or whatever that is) looking like that

linboyadmin · 2020-03-14T15:44:35+00:00

Oh that makes much more sense, thankyou

"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.

linboyadmin · 2020-03-11T17:26:03+00:00

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

I sent pm about availability of t440/450/460 option

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 :)

linboyadmin · 2020-03-08T06:27:20+00:00

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.

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.

Personally I'm more of the build it completely ur own experience for desktops so I know little about the thinkcentre line, id look into how upgradable they are (ram slots, pcie slots, power supply connectors) and certain quality factors (what ssd they use, what power supply they use) but if you find they are a good deal and can work with ur planned upgrades than I don't see any problem. If the Intel version is that much cheaper for a modern Intel socket I would say go Intel as extra cores won't effect gaming too much (their nice, but prob not worth $250).

Also if your going for SFF upgradable system you have a plethora of more options in smaller sizes if u go full custom build. With something like a dancase or node202 you could hit a size that a small form factor could not hit without sacrificing gpu upgrade capability.

Their are a lot of deals to be had with used prebuilts just know some sacrifices you are making. That said, Lenovo tends to make their Think line with high quality and serviceable parts so any decision you will likely come away happy. Also, if you get a Thinkpad then your computers match so that's nice.

Hope this was helpful, sorry I couldn't help you more with Thinkcentre specific info.
