Bye Bye Ryoku :(

I've been recommending ryoku for 3 months. told all my friends, even put it on my wife's laptop (she's on windows now, honorlock forces it because of her uni).

but i'm out. reasons:

  • ~2 GB used right after boot, nothing open
  • dwm on void is 1.2 GB with firefox running. 650 MB post boot
  • ram clears way faster on void when i close tabs
  • boot is way faster (runit)
  • wifi ui kept breaking up on me
  • kernel compilation got harder with all the gui stuff running in the background

last one was the turning point. i do kernel work, i want the machine out of my way.

To DWM + Void. I've been using i3 for about a decade now. So maybe it's a mindset or idk. But I don't feel alright with UI stuff taking all my resources and not even working at times.

Daily Driver(ditched my own config for ryoku)

I got a new laptop and my PC's configs were too hardcoded to my PC. Started using Ryoku. Pretty neat it has some issues with display states but pretty stable otherwise. The RAM and CPU consumption is definately higher than my only hyprland and waybar configs. But looks neat.

[Stupid Question] How do I start contributing ?

What I know:

  1. How TLB's work and ways of handling TLB misses
  2. Paging and faults and demands
  3. Swap
  4. NICs and how ether buffers are loaded into kernel.
    So, How do I find what do I work on. I am fairly good at C and Rust.
    Do I look at syzbot and pick some easy issues from there ? Also I am particularly interested in the memory management subsystem, because alot of commits I see are from people working in arm etc working on their hardware integrations.

I do have set the email and the git workflow.

Thank You. And sorry if this question has been asked multiple times(which I know it probably is).
