Dynamic Tracing in Linux.
A light-weight dynamic tracer for Linux that leverages the kernel's BPF VM in concert with kprobes and tracepoints to attach probes to arbitrary points in the kernel. Most tracers that generate BPF bytecode are based on the LLVM based BCC toolchain. ply on the other hand has no required external dependencies except for libc. In addition to x86_64, ply also runs on aarch64, arm, loongarch, mips, riscv64, riscv32, and powerpc. Adding support for more ISAs is easy.

Tools for BPF-based Linux IO analysis, networking, monitoring, and more.
BCC is a toolkit for creating efficient kernel tracing and manipulation programs, and includes several useful tools and examples. It makes use of extended BPF (Berkeley Packet Filters), formally known as eBPF, a new feature that was first added to Linux 3.15. Much of what BCC uses requires Linux 4.1 and above.

eBPF is a revolutionary technology with origins in the Linux kernel that can run sandboxed programs in a privileged context such as the operating system kernel. It is used to safely and efficiently extend the capabilities of the kernel without requiring to change kernel source code or load kernel modules.

kmscon is a system console for linux. It does not depend on any graphics-server on your system (like X.org), but instead provides a raw console layer that can be used independently. It can replace the linux kernel console entirely but was designed to work well side-by-side, too. Even though initially targeted at providing internationalization to the system-console, it has grown into a fully modularized console layer including features like multi-head support, internationalized font rendering, XKB-compatible keyboard handling, hardware-accelerated graphics access and more.

an interactive programming guide dedicated to the nix programming language. there is also a standalone version called 'nix-tour' which is based on 'electron' and can be installed and used offline.
'A tour of Nix' focuses on programming language constructs and how Nix can be algorithmically used to solve problems. However, this is not an introduction into nix-env, nix-shell, nix-repl and we won't build/install software using stdenv.mkDerivation. Still we bundled nixpkgs into 'A tour of Nix' and you can use the Nix library functions' from pkgs/lib, which are used for packaging software.

LiGurOS is a source based distribution building upon code and packages from a broad family of Gentoo-based distributions. Source based means all the software is compiled from source. The Gentoo-family of operating systems heavily uses portage as the package manager with the ability to change settings globally but also per package. So you can specify what exact configuration options are passed to the package upon building. This results in a operating system without bloat and running optimized for your processor.
Yet Another Dotfiles Manager.
When you live in a command line, configurations are a deeply personal thing. They are often crafted over years of experience, battles lost, lessons learned, advice followed, and ingenuity rewarded. When you are away from your own configurations, you are an orphaned refugee in unfamiliar and hostile surroundings. You feel clumsy and out of sorts. You are filled with a sense of longing to be back in a place you know. A place you built. A place where all the short-cuts have been worn bare by your own travels. A place you proudly call… $HOME.
