    I believe this was written by the same person who wrote Operating System in 1000 Lines[1] which was high quality and super fun to work through. So this is definitely going on the rainy day list.

    A book from this person would be amazing!

      No, that would be https://1000hv.seiya.me/en/ Easy mistake to make though, it is the 3rd such guide being posted in a week, definitely seems like the subject has a lot of traction.

    The guide itself is great.

    But I really dislike these markdown books used by many rust projects. I wish they just had an option to download it as a PDF, so that I could archive them. The printing button really isn't good enough for that. I mean if everything is already neatly renderd to HTML like that, how hard could it realistically be to also create a good looking PDF version...

      Just wondering, what value do you get out of this? I used to like having a hardcopy of these kinds of things, especially when I used to have a much smaller monitor.

      But these subjects evolve so fast, that having a bunch of .deadtrees lying around just become a nuisance.

      If all I want is some form of archive to look back on later, a bunch of .md files seems perfect.

      Not a 100% perfect solution, but you can click the little printer icon in the top right corner and then print to PDF from your browser.

    This is obviously just a bunch of notes/slides for a course. It's borderline useless for anybody not taking the course.

      Yeah, I'm not sure what people are getting from this...

      If you already have the knowledge to understand the notes in the slides, it's probably pointless to you. If you don't, the slides make no sense at all since nothings explained.

      What am I missing here that's so great ?

    The word "hypervisor" always sounded so techo and cool to me!

      I used to work as a "Kernel/Hypervisor Engineer" at that big company that sells books. People from outside the tech always thought I'm some kind of supervisor's supervisor ;)
