Gokrazy: A pure-Go userland for Raspberry Pi 3 appliances

It is really interesting that Gokrazy uses an upstream kernel (with a couple of minor patches).

Why is that interesting? Just that they're not having to carry special patches for the RPi3 or what?

Yes. I have only tried Raspbian and I'm not used to getting RPi kernels from kernel.org

E.g. Fedora has for years been using for RPi the same close-to-mainline kernel source that is used for other ARM boards and x86-64 and any other supported hw platform.

Even the raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W are supported in the latest kernels, and those were the latest Pi boards until the B+ came out.

Thanks! That’s good to know. Perhaps getting gokrazy going on the Pi Zeroes will not be a huge task. 32-bit userland probably already works on the 64-bit Pi 3 kernel.
