Colin Walters: Why bootc doesn’t require “/usr merge”
The systemd docs talk about UsrMerge, and while bootc works nicely with this, it does not require it and never will. In this blog we’ll touch on the rationale for that a bit.

Linux Journal ☛ Crafting a Custom Linux Kernel for Your Embedded Projects
Embedded systems have become a cornerstone of modern technology, powering everything from IoT devices to automotive control systems. These specialized systems rely on software that is lightweight, efficient, and highly optimized for specific hardware configurations. At the heart of this software stack lies the Linux kernel, which is widely used in embedded devices due to its flexibility, robustness, and open-source nature.
However, the generic Linux kernel is often bloated with unnecessary drivers, modules, and features that are irrelevant for embedded applications. For developers working on embedded systems, building a custom Linux kernel is not only a means to optimize performance but also a way to reduce the system's resource consumption, improve security, and enhance hardware compatibility.
