    WSL2-Linux-Kernel

    WSL2-Linux-Kernel

    The source for the Linux kernel used in Windows Subsystem for Linux 2

    The WSL2-Linux-Kernel repo contains the kernel source code and configuration files for the WSL2 kernel. If you discover an issue relating to WSL or the WSL2 kernel, please report it on the WSL GitHub project. It is not possible to report issues on the WSL2-Linux-Kernel project. Instructions for building an x86_64 WSL2 kernel with an Ubuntu distribution are provided. The number one way that we recommend you run Linux distributions is by installing Windows Terminal. Using Windows Terminal enables you to open multiple tabs or window panes to display and quickly switch between multiple Linux distributions or other command lines (PowerShell, Command Prompt, PowerShell, Azure CLI, etc). You can fully customize your terminal with unique color schemes, font styles, sizes, background images, and custom keyboard shortcuts.

    stress-ng

    stress-ng

    This is the stress-ng upstream project git repository.

    This is the stress-ng upstream project git repository. stress-ng will stress test a computer system in various selectable ways. It was designed to exercise various physical subsystems of a computer as well as the various operating system kernel interfaces. stress-ng was originally intended to make a machine work hard and trip hardware issues such as thermal overruns as well as operating system bugs that only occur when a system is being thrashed hard. Use stress-ng with caution as some of the tests can make a system run hot on poorly designed hardware and also can cause excessive system thrashing which may be difficult to stop.

    QP Real-Time Event Frameworks & Tools

    QP Real-Time Event Frameworks & Tools

    Real-Time Event Frameworks based on active objects & state machines

    QP real-time event frameworks (RTEFs) provide lightweight, modern, event-driven architecture based on asynchronous Active Objects (Actors) and Hierarchical State Machines. The matching QM model-based design tool and other host-based tools complement the QP frameworks by supporting graphical modeling, code generation, software tracing, and unit testing for event-driven embedded software. Visit https://www.state-machine.com for more information. The QP RTEFs can run on bare-metal microcontrollers, replacing a traditional RTOS. The frameworks contain a selection of built-in real-time kernels (RTOS kernels), such as the cooperative QV kernel, the preemptive non-blocking QK kernel, and the unique preemptive, dual-mode (blocking/non-blocking) QXK kernel. Native QP ports and ready-to-use examples are provided for ARM Cortex-M (M0/M0+/M3/M4/M7/M33/...) as well as other CPUs. The QP RTEFs can also work with many traditional RTOSes and General-Purpose OSes, such as Linux and Windows.

    The Linux Kernel is the core component of the Linux operating system—a free, open-source, monolithic, Unix-like system kernel initiated by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and since evolved into a foundational technology powering everything from servers and supercomputers to smartphones and embedded devices. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Extensive filesystem compatibility (ext4, Btrfs, FUSE, XFS, etc.) Broad hardware architecture support (x86, ARM, mainframe, embedded, etc.)

    GeckoLinux

    GeckoLinux is a set of live Linux spins built from openSUSE

    GeckoLinux is a Linux distribution based on openSUSE. I've used Linux on the desktop since approximately 2001. I have used many versions of openSUSE since the project's inception, and I used SuSE Linux before that. I've always appreciated openSUSE's flexibility and highly innovative infrastructure, but the profusion of "paper cuts" in the default configuration always made me think twice before recommending it to others. This projects sets out to change that.

    exGENT 64 bit  Linux Live System

    exGENT 64 bit Linux Live System

    exGENT Live System is - as the name suggests - based on Gentoo Linux

    exGENT version 240201/240125 Linux Live System is - as the name suggest - based on Gentoo Linux. The best thing with exGENT is the premier auto detection of hardware and the ability to relatively easy install the system to hard drive during a live session. (Calamares Installer). LXQt 1.4 is used as Desktop environment. Used kernel: 6.7.1/6.1.67. exGENT runs on all "normal" and fairly new computers. They run very well also in VirtualBox/VMware. INSTALLATION The systems can easily be installed to hard drive and/or a USB flash drive in two ways. Using Calamares Installer (in version 240201) or an installation script in /root/install. The installation takes 5 - 20 min. (Depending on computer type). ROLLING DISTRIBUTION Gentoo/exGENT is a "rolling" distribution, which means that you can always get the latest software without reinstalling. Upgrade the system every month or so... WHO IS exGENT/Gentoo FOR? Experienced Linux users or those who really want to learn Linux.

    NuTyX is a very flexible, complete GNU / Linux distribution for advanced or motivated users. Numerous concepts of the distribution are original and therefore exist only on NuTyX. For example, it has its own CARDS package manager. You can choose to use the ports system, compile and install your packages from their sources, they will be integrated natively in the system, their management will be transparent. In addition to the traditional ISOs available, an installation script can install NuTyX from another distribution.

    Zen Patched Kernel Sources. This is the top level of the kernel’s documentation tree. Kernel documentation, like the kernel itself, is very much a work in progress; that is especially true as we work to integrate our many scattered documents into a coherent whole. ARC processors are highly configurable and several configurable options are supported in Linux. Some options are transparent to software (i.e cache geometries, some can be detected at runtime and configured and used accordingly, while some need to be explicitly selected or configured in the kernel’s configuration utility.
