  • mainline

    Install mainline kernel packages from kernel.ubuntu.com

  • See also https://github.com/bkw777/mainline which offers a UI to install the mainline kernels from mainline kernels PPA.

  • ubuntu-sb-kernel-signing

    Ubuntu Secure Boot Kernel Signing (MOK)

  • I used to use https://github.com/berglh/ubuntu-sb-kernel-signing and the mainline tool from cappelikan ppa, I think it worked on even with DKMS modules such as the Nvidia driver. I've since switched to xanmod with secure boot disabled do my memory is a bit hazy on that last point.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • bootspec-secureboot

  • Another option for NixOS is bootspec-secureboot, I'm using it with no real complaints: https://github.com/DeterminateSystems/bootspec-secureboot

  • linux

    Linux kernel builds (by zabbly)

  • Installing kernel in Ubuntu is simply, given that you already have a kernel deb, a single line "apt-get install". You can create your own package apt repo or use the one provided by the author https://github.com/zabbly/linux#installation

  • linux

    Linux kernel source tree

  • It's quite trivial actually. It's just `make deb-pkg`. It may complain about a cert. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/scripts/packag...

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
