Hello everyone, Last draft before I send in a patch. Big change is an added preamble to set tone and intent. Also some stuff up top setting forth the structure of the document. Carlos, I tried figuring out what you meant by troubles with KVM, but all that boiled down to was scant documentation on use cases people rarely venture into. I think that is a different document from what I am trying to write, although I might now be qualified to write it. Pranjal, sorry man, more words :) https://gitlab.com/anadon/getting-started-on-kernel-dev-guide-workspace/-/blob/main/Linux%20basic%20dev%20setup.rst?ref_type=heads On Tue, Apr 23, 2024 at 1:43 PM Josh Marshall <joshua.r.marshall.1991@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello Carlos, > > My intention right now is still to gather feedback on the draft! > Everything, including if it should be sliced and diced into other > places, is up for consideration.
