Problem compiling 6.3.x kernel from tar
Thanks! Was able to get it with "git clone --depth=1 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/" which gave me a folder which I do indeed appear to be able to patch as typical.

... was both good and bad (git bisect)
I'm expanding my knowledge of git. I'm trying to track down a regression in the Linux kernel built for arm64 (specifically Raspberry Pi 4B.) The problem does not appear in the v5.18 and does appear in v5.19. I have cloned https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/ and am working with that. Here is where I'm trying to start.
- How do I learn the C programming language so I can edit the source code of Linux? Is it possible for somebody who's not got a Master's Degree in maths/IT-related fields?

Learning Git and Have some questions
Where did you get that URL? The clone URL is https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/ (You're missing a "linux/" between scm and kernel.)

linux-lts kernel regression: 5.10.67 & 5.10.68 kernels don't boot on Mac mini (2018); issue fixed by reverting back to 5.10.63
I knew where to find the tarballs. I was asking where to find a git repo I could use to bisect in a more granular fashion. Anyway, someone else pointed me to https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/, which is what I needed (it has a branch that corresponds to the lts releases).

Damn Small Linux 2024
ELKS supported MMU-less operation on 8088 and 80286 machines, but I don't think an ARM port exists: https://github.com/ghaerr/elks

SIIG MiniSys S286 Small Form Factor PC
Roughly in the mid-90s I bought at a local surplus store a "Carry 1" industrial 8088 computer which to my surprise I later discovered it could run Linux (ELKS: https://github.com/ghaerr/elks). I ultimately sold it on Ebay because although it was a beautiful piece of old tech, I was struggling to find more space for other things.
Here's one. I had only the central unit, mine had two floppy drives.

My Happy HP 95LX is my everyday computer.
I don't think you can replace the OS on these. Unless there is a way to boot them from DOS, but you are looking at 8c086 machine so the choice is limited. Linux or BSD won't work. But ELKS might if it can be made to boot from DOS. Minix 2.02 seems to work.

Furby 1998 Source Code
Some small size Linux-like OSes do exist though: one commenter suggested Lunix (which I didn't know, thanks for the link), and a slightly bigger one is ELKS which runs on old MMU-less x86 CPUs. I managed to run it on a 8088 industrial PC ages ago.

I should have a Furby buried somewhere; now that I think of it, it may be the right platform to stick a bigger brain into, make it wireless so that it could be connected to the home IoT network then signal events or alerts.
