Unix (OpenSolaris), Linux and AI

Introductory materials, dev, beginner threads on discord thread/channel for Solaris events

A welcoming meetup for engineers, developers, and curious tinkerers exploring illumos derivatives like OpenIndiana alongside Linux. The focus is on the underlying systems that power AI—kernels, filesystems, schedulers, containers/zones, drivers, and toolchains—while welcoming ideas and cross‑pollination from adjacent projects.

Who it’s for
Enthusiasts running or curious about illumos distros in labs, homelabs, and servers, plus Linux users who enjoy practical systems work and collaborative learning.

Popular topics

• OpenZFS: pools, snapshots, send/receive, compression, encryption.
• COSMIC DE, nushell and other trending open-source projects.
• How to make development faster, user friendly and more welcoming to new contributors.

Getting help
Bring installs, configs, packaging, or driver questions—expect friendly troubleshooting and pointers to docs and project hubs.
