for many years, I've only heard that the Linux kernel has added a driver.... this is what they call the development of the Linux kernel. there are practically no changes in the kernel structure. their approach to killing kernel processes is simply terrifying. A child process of the kernel can be killed randomly to free up resources. it's scary. We need to reconsider this. it is necessary to perfect the internal structure of the kernel, and not just write drivers and take them out. It's all going to end up being a big pile of shit.
