In this episode of the CyberGizmo we explore installing Linux on an old Mac Mini from 2012.
I used this machine primarily for development of software to drive a telescope to locate objects in the night sky.

Today I dive into the deep and mysterious waters of the new Linux Scheduler Earliest Eligible Virtual Deadline First (EEVDF), a scheduler which has supplanted the Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) in the Linux Kernel 6.6. I ran into a couple of surprises so I am including the other mystery to this puzzle which is the Intel Thread Director which comes into play when using Intel Hybrid CPU architecture from the 12th Generation Intel processors to the present 14th Gen (MeteorLake) CPUs. So buckle up because "we ain't in Kansas anymore".

I am working through another promise to explain how Guards work, and since they are based on MLS, we need to at least touch on that topic a bit in order to fully understand what these devices do.
