Any recommendation for a book that actually covers newer features like cgroups, namespaces, and io_uring?

    not really an answer ofcourse, but what ive found to be quite fun is having the elixir linux source code open in Edge, and using the copilot side-window to just copy-paste it bits of code and asking it to walk me through it (select block of code, right click, "ask copilot".)

    sort of like a modern-day "a commentary on the unix operating system". LLMs appear to be (probably unsurprisingly) very knowledgeable about Linux internals.

wondering how it is different from the 'bible' "The Linux Programming Interface" book

    Of all the books I wish would get updated, this is the main one...

Has anyone read the book? It looks interesting.

Obviously it's more recent, but how does this compare to Steven's Advanced Programming for the Unix Environment.
