After attending Flock 2024 in Rochester, I was inspired to contribute more to the Linux kernel. As an aspiring kernel developer, I decided to start by exploring the Fedora Kernel bug tracker. I quickly realized it contained many valuable reports—some highlighting Fedora-specific issues, but others uncovering real upstream bugs that had gone unnoticed.
In this talk, I’ll share real-world examples where the Fedora Kernel played a crucial role in identifying and fixing upstream Linux kernel issues that weren’t being addressed. I’ll also discuss how others can get involved, particularly in tackling hardware and driver-related problems.
