Merlin: A Modern, Memory-Safe Kernel and Platform Merlin is a work-in-progress operating system kernel and platform, designed to explore what RISC OS might have become if reimagined with modern engineering principles.

💻 Weekend project: I finally got time to update the #MerlinOS presentation with the newest features:

Heute startet der TUXEDO Workshop zur Linux-Treiberentwicklung in Rust 🦀
🧠 Von Kernel-Architektur bis USB-HID-Treiber – zwei Tage voller Low-Level-Praxis.
Ich bin dabei – wer auf der Warteliste steht: Daumen drücken!

Greg Kroah-Hartman Supports Rust in the Kernel An anonymous Slashdot reader shared this report from Phoronix: Linux's second-in-command Greg Kroah-Hartman has also been a big proponent of Rust kernel code. He's crafted another Linux kernel mailing...

Greg Kroah-Hartman Supports Rust in the Kernel #Technology #SoftwareEngineering #ProgrammingLanguages #RustProgramming #KernelDevelopment #OpenSource

Hector Martin has announced his exit from Linux kernel development after maintainer Christoph Hellwig rejected the DMA Rust abstraction, citing concerns over maintainability.

Martin expressed a loss of confidence in the development process.
