Following a trail from a wonderful Julia Evans post led me to Allen Downey’s nice textbook manifesto. Also led me to the nice Think OS book, which seems like a super nice introduction to Operating System principles. It is short enough (~100 pages) that I wanted to read through it. I’ve spent a good chunk of time absorbing how Operating Systems work by dint of diving into things and working through them, but it would be nice to get a refresher on the basics.
