Linux on Amiga: Executive turns Amiga Exec Kernel into Linux -  

In this journal entry, for #AMayGA20204, I follow up on my April 1st video a month earlier where I tried to figure out priorities in AmigaOS. Turns out that things didn't work as expected and the reason is that the Exec kernel may be doing real-time priorities, where a task can get 100% control of the CPU if its priority is higher than everyone else. To fix this, there is Executive, a program that augments the Exec kernel and gives Linux-like process control to Amiga tasks. It's a pretty neat tool and I'll demonstrate how it works.
