Linux started as a single person’s project xd

Linux started as a single person’s project xd

yup

except that no

see, the drivers for linux aren't part of the kernel

just bluetick this person tbh

bluetick?

Basically read and don’t reply

so done bye

so done bye

stay here

I need someone to tell me that i'M not shit, else I might fall for @stevewozniak

It’s that @stevewozniak is being the usual script kiddle probably

see, the drivers for linux aren't part of the kernel

Okay now that's wrong !!

Okay now that's wrong !!

No

Iirc drivers are part of the kernel?

Iirc drivers are part of the kernel?

aren't they modules?

No

Yes !!!

aren't they modules?

Does not have to be !!

Does not have to be !!

ok !!!

aren't they modules?

Module IS KERNMEL !!!!

Module IS KERNMEL !!!!

No

modules are attached to the kernel

Yup

aren't they modules?

I'd say they are modules

kernmel

aren't they modules?

Running in kernel mode qualifies as being part of the kernel for me

On a code base level, it is not the same though

What's your definition of "in kernel" then?

I don#t want to see your research

No

YES !!! it is in kernel space, so it is kernel !!!! For the bare minimum part : from BIOS routines + inital setup and definintion of PCB, other than you can make everything module !!!

What's your definition of "in kernel" then?

well the minimum needed to run your computer

delete @stevewozniak already xxx

On a code base level, it is not the same though

It is !! Check Linux - Config !@!

I don't see how you are helping me

lol

well the minimum needed to run your computer

That is like booting from bios to setting up tables !!! That;s it !!!

That is like booting from bios to setting up tables !!! That;s it !!!

and maybe some ACPI setup shit

exactly

and maybe some ACPI setup shit

Kind of BIOS level !!!

maybe some memory mapping

and some VGA shitting

maybe some memory mapping

Thats what you set up in GDT LDT !!!

Thats what you set up in GDT LDT !!!

Yes but it kinda requires a bit more

well the minimum needed to run your computer

Does this account for serial ports, HDD, VGA and so on? These are all drivers

and some VGA shitting

No need ... write to some address and BIOS will write it to screen !!

taking such name and telling stupid things wtffff

Does this account for serial ports, HDD, VGA and so on? These are all drivers

Mhh okay makes sense

That would be a microkernel

Linux is monolithic

No need ... write to some address and BIOS will write it to screen !!

well yea but you gotta wrap it up in good code so nobody sees your little shits :)

Linux is monolithic

i see

can't you make a hybrid between em?

can't you make a hybrid between em?

Windows is :)

Haha 😅

Windows is :)

Hehehe

clinl will be :)

well yea but you gotta wrap it up in good code so nobody sees your little shits :)

That's what driver does for you :P :D When you take control from BIOS , you need drivers !!!

That's what driver does for you :P :D When you take control from BIOS , you need drivers !!!

well I was talking about the drivers like GPU's and stuff

but I guess I was wrong

That would be a microkernel

Nano !!! I suppose !!

Nano !!! I suppose !!

can you please unplug your exclamation key keyboard from your computer? Your dog keeps walking on it

but I guess I was wrong

Everything in hardware requires either a driver or some BIOS support to be working !!!

No

can you please unplug your exclamation key keyboard from your computer? Your dog keeps walking on it

That's me, man! I am sorry

hehe okay :D

No

YEs

YEs

your CPU can run without any driver

the MMU can run without driver

the ram can run without driver

the GPU can run without driver

No

Will continue this later bro, gotta finish off some work.

ok

good luck with your mmap :)

your CPU can run without any driver

that's BIOS and motherboard ...

that's BIOS and motherboard ...

No

you can hook up a CPU to thousand little switches and it will work without bios

Other CPU, yes

ANY cpu

lol bios in cpu

you can hook up a CPU to thousand little switches and it will work without bios

CPU requires driveres to use other parts

That;s what a computer is

CPU requires driveres to use other parts

no the CPU doesn't use other parts
