Trimming Efforts

  • While linux-hardened security patchsets along with kernel configurations are notable for this kernel project, the core purpose was to practice minimalism by reducing the size of the linux kernel, thereby cutting attack surface. This is not a trivial thing to record, therefore we are displaying the size purely as a point of comparison.
