Question for #linux #kernel developers out there. If I want to do Kernel development as a career, should I study Electrical Engineering or Computer Science?

I recently was admitted into an engineering school and am faced with this challenging decision. It would be my dream to work for #RedHat, #Intel, #AMD, #Linaro, #arm or #NVIDIA working on Linux Kernel dev.

Unfortunately, I will no longer be able financially to support @AsahiLinux 's Marcan as a GitHub sponsor after his resignation. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Asahi-Linux-Lead-No-Upstream . While I understand why Marcan has decided to step down, I remain hopeful that he reconsiders his decision and rejoins the project. His work was vital and invaluable. I will restart my donation if Marcan rejoins the project.

Does anyone have any tips on adding a new game controller to the Linux kernel? I have this Nintendo switch knock off controller that doesn’t work but I would like to use. I tried adding the vendor and device id to xpad.c, but that didn’t work. Any ideas?

I’ve fallen to the Rewrite It In #Rust (#RIIR ) movement. I’m currently rewriting my internal API (which only I use and performs absolutely fine) to move from Python + Flask to Rust + Axum because I wanted better performance. #rustlang #Axum
