website VS linux

There are a lot of third-party Linux apps built with GTK4/Libadwaita. If you just to to https://flathub.org and click on random apps a lot of them will use GTK.

I would recommend taking a look at Flatpak

flathub flatpak format apps/games for linux desktop, does not require any specific linux distribution just that flatpak is present on the system.

Which X clients are these? You didn't name any so let's just look at some of the popular and recent flathub apps: https://flathub.org/

I see a lot of games, chat apps, text editors, photo apps, office apps. These all will work fine in XWayland and XQuartz. But also, it's relatively easy to get them running on Wayland natively.

If you're worried about the potential of breaking things, I'd pick the Fedora Kinoite distro. Up to date gaming support, stable and extremely difficult to break. Install apps from Flathub using the built-in Discover software store and go nuts.

You can go on flathub.org to found many other apps you wish to install.

8. Go to https://flathub.org/ and install other useful software.

9. Install an office suite (for example, https://www.freeoffice.com/en/)

For games, Lutris and Steam are your friends.

I don't like that, it's not good practice.

One should give links to original sources, i.e. https://kernel.org as far as Linux is concerned.

Even if git guarantees that the content is the same (if someone bothers to verify that the SHA-1 is the same and we exclude the possibility of a SHA-1 collision in git, which is yet to be demonstrated).

kernel.org existed before github.

- Modern Operating Systems, 5th Edition by Andrew Tanenbaum (of MINIX fame) and Herbert Bos (https://www.pearson.com/en-us/subject-catalog/p/modern-opera...) is the latest edition of a solid graduate-level textbook on operating system concepts.

It may also be beneficial studying the source code of existing operating systems. I recommend starting with smaller, simpler systems, such as MINIX and xv6 (https://github.com/mit-pdos/xv6-public), before moving on to larger, more complex systems such as the Linux kernel (https://kernel.org/) and its userland (e.g., GNU utilities, systemd, etc.).

Another cool thing is to study the designs of non-Unix operating systems, such as the classic Mac OS, VMS, IBM OS/400, Plan 9 (yes, this is "more Unix than Unix" in many ways, but it's quite a departure from Unix) and its successor Inferno, and Symbolics Genera. Bonus points for reading academic papers on OS concepts such as exokernels.

Good luck! It's a long but very interesting journey!

Those other flashy distros like mint and ubuntus are designed with rich people with very fresh machines in mind, they don't care if you have an AMDx4 or core2duo or even 32bit older machine. Even Mint and ubuntu people will tell you, if you have an old machine with little ram, use antiX. It still works very well with machines not even released yet, buy one in May 2024 and I "guaranty you" antiX will run fine. That's because kernels, even 6.1 have code for machines not yet released in the market, this is where manufacturers of new hardware send their prototypes to be tested, to kernel.org Some are even industrial machines we will never see in the market.

The memory_order_relaxed explanation on the kernel.org documentation heavily implies (never explicitly) that the direct memory load is implicit in the barrier(so by preventing it's reordering we are also forcing a LOAD from main), and that THIS specific barrier (relaxed) is what we NEED for these type of scenarios, so I am not entirely sure if a loadLoadFence() would prevent the hoisting... maybe it will prevent the reordering but not the hoisting/caching... in which case we would still have a visibility issue.

Are all versions of the kernel from kernel.org called mainline kernels or only 6.6-rc4 as shown in the picture?

Devuan is a fork of Debian GNU+Linux without systemd.

I built the dev env on Devuan GNU+Linux, a fork of Debian without systemd. It resembles my past trial on Artix Linux.
