Kernel Quest: The Legacy Code Chronicles

Code it, Break it, Fix it, Ship it!

In 'Kernel Quest: The Legacy Code Chronicles', you play as a passionate coder navigating the complex and quirky world of Linux kernel development. Your journey begins with your beloved Fujitsu Lifebook S2110, an ancient but cherished laptop. The device has a few mysterious hardware features—old hotkeys that trigger unknown events and function modes that don't seem to be working. Your task? Unravel the secrets behind these keys to modify a kernel driver, submit patches, and ultimately restore functionality to your aging companion. As you explore the labyrinth of the Linux source tree, you'll encounter puzzles that require logical thinking, debugging challenges that mimic real code inspections, and quirky characters embodying various programming folklores. The ultimate goal is to understand the kernel deeply enough to submit a successful patch that could help countless legacy systems, including yours, thrive!
