I am Linux refugee, seeking asylum from systemd menace:) I am planning in installing FreeBSD on my Lenovo X1 Extreme laptop. In particular are there any similar resources about kernel? I am interested in studying kernel and drivers development so any high-level overview of the kernel subsystems and their interconnection would help a lot.
