Due to the complexity of the process of creating and managing large code repositories, software developers thought of organizing code in small files that link to specific modules. This will specifically discuss the Linux Kernel Makefiles: Kconfig and Kbuild as the topic’s too broad to cover in a single article.
In this tutorial the kernel source structure will be briefly explained. The source directory contains the following subdirectories called kernel tree, learning the structure of the kernel tree and the function of each path is the first step to start browsing the kernel.
This article will focus on Linux kernel, which is a Monolithic Kernel based on Unix. Other kernels may be MicroKernels delegating some functions to other programs such as external drivers. A monolithic kernel is a kernel monopolizing all hardware and driver operations as parts of itself, in contrast with microkernels which deal with a few basic tasks while leaving the rest as external tasks.
By default, Fedora offers a pre-compiled kernel that is general-purpose and suitable for most systems. This article shows you how to check the version and update the kernel of Fedora.
A highly responsive, sturdy, and durable keyboard is one key consideration of gamers.

Nowadays, people are most likely to own a laptop than desktop computers. This is because portability has been one of the highlighted feature people looks for a personal computer. Therefore, Asus launched Chromebox to stay in the game of reinventing desktops. Learn about the line of Chromeboxes from Asus here.
Kernel is the essential component of any operating system since it manages the processes, resources, and provides a mechanism for communication between software and hardware. There are various commands that we can use in installing and checking our Linux Kernel version, all of which are explained in this article.
Linux kernel is the core of the Linux operating system. It is quite flexible and can be extended by the so-called kernel modules. Handling Linux kernel modules only takes practice to have a full understanding of how it operates. And this article will present the guide that you exactly needed.
Gentoo is a rolling release, but there are no major updates. The idea behind this is never to have incompatible parts of the system because they belong to different major releases. In Gentoo, you have new kernels when it has been tested. You can, of course, take the latest kernel out there and run that. How to upgrade the Gentoo kernel is explained in this article.
Upgrade can happen in any aspects such as lifestyle, status, profession, etc., even in our operating systems. This article will show you how to perform an upgrade on Fedora Linux, from Fedora 32 to Fedora 33, using three different ways. The difference among these upgrade methods was also tackled here.
