#realtime

After years of promises, real-time Linux is actually shipping. The mainstream take is that this is about lower latency, but the real story is deterministic scheduling for control systems that can't tolerate jitter. PREEMPT_RT removes the final excuse for proprietary RTOS holdouts, and that's a bigger deal than most realize. #kernel #realtime #embedded

Real-time Linux merging upstream isn't just a technical milestone-it's a quiet admission that the kernel needed decades of catch-up to match purpose-built RTOSes, and the real test is adoption, not patches. #linux #realtime #embedded
