While trying to document myself about some less known Linux features I found some kernel mailing list discussions that contained a lot of advanced and counter intuitive technical knowledge, sparkled with personal conflicts and drama between excellent engineers.

I would love to read more about this, but the kernel mailing list is HUGE and full of hidden content. My questions are:

  • Do you know about any good historiographical resources about Linux? (blogs, books, ...)
  • What were the biggest drama/decisions along the path of its development?

    This question is triply off-topic: "any good historiographical resources about Linux" is off-topic as we don't accept questions about learning materials except official docs, the drama question is opinion-based, and asking for both is off-topic as it lacks focus. That's to say, this will likely get closed, and can't be edited to make it a good candidate for reopening. Commented yesterday
  • @muru I would wonder why there is an history tag then. Is there a better place to post this question? Commented yesterday
  • You can ask directly about specific aspects of Unix or Linux history (e.g., how a particular feature or development decision or something like that came to be), but you can't ask about sites (or blogs, or books, etc.) listing general Unix or Linux history. Commented yesterday

    More to the point: "What were the biggest drama/decisions along the path of its development?" is a subjective question. One person's drama is another person's everyday event. Commented 23 hours ago
