"I've been using Linux for a month now and have run each distro for at least 2 days (a couple for just a few hours), so I have enough experience to share my wisdom.

Rule #1: If someone uses their computer for something else and differently than I do, they are stupid. A month of Linux experience cannot be denied. Trust me!"

The Linux kernel has been accidentally hardcoded to a maximum of 8 cores for the past 15 years and nobody noticed (thehftguy.com)
 

"The min_granularity setting was renamed to base_slice in this commit in v6 kernel.

The comment says it scales with CPU count and the comment is incorrect. I wonder whether kernel developers are aware of that mistake as they are rewriting the scheduler!

  • Official comments in the code says it’s scaling with log2(1+cores) but it doesn’t.
  • All the comments in the code are incorrect.
  • Official documentation and man pages are incorrect.
  • Every blog article, stack overflow answer and guide ever published about the scheduler is incorrect."
