  • linux

    Linux kernel source tree

  • Linux is named after the guy who made it, Linus Torvalds, you can even check his git repo, or download it from the official website, but you need then to compile it to your own distribution, you can Google for it, I will make a topic on this later. So now that we understood what is a kernel, what we use are Distributions and there are a LOT !

  • vmware-host-modules

    Patches needed to build VMware (Player and Workstation) host modules against recent kernels

  • You can avoid all this by directly clone the branch (replace the VMWare version with the one you use) : git clone -b workstation-16.2.3 https://github.com/mkubecek/vmware-host-modules.git

  • 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.
