The Test Linux Documentation

This is the top level of the test-linux’s documentation tree.

The Test Linux repository contains GNU/Linux related test case codes, scripts and knowledge points, as well as operating system related content.

You must clone test-linux under Linux(UNIX like) system. Because there are lots of symbol links, some file system not support in Windows OS.

You’d better don’t rename any of folder and file’s name, because of symlinks. If you rename/move/update/remove path/directory, you need to run make check under top-dir and fix the invalid-symlinks.

It may be that the repository will contain desktop-related test code, such as GNOME, but that is not the main purpose of the repository. Perhaps researching the GUI is also the purpose of this repository, such as GTK, Wayland.

It seems that I have also added some GPU and AI related content, which is less related to Linux, but most of it is still part of the Linux ecosystem.

You could always use man-pages to check what you want to know.
