README's layout predated the BIOS/UEFI split. moving-to-linux.md now says what is gitignored and therefore absent from a clone: dist/ holds 61 MB of upstream tarballs, so copy it or let the build re-fetch them -- make ports verifies each against a known SHA-256 either way.

Nexoniarz works from **two machines** and moved the project to the second on
|
|
2026-08-09.
|
|
|
|
| | Windows desktop | Fedora laptop |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| path | `D:\DEV\SchOS` | `/home/nexoniarz/Documents/SchOS` |
|
|
| memory key | `D--DEV-SchOS` | `-home-nexoniarz-Documents-SchOS` |
|
|
|
|
Fedora 44, Ryzen 5 7000-series, RTX 4050, 16 GB DDR5. The GPU is irrelevant to
|
|
the build — QEMU runs headless for tests.
|
|
|
|
`tools/posix/setup-fedora.sh` installs the toolchain (`--check` to only report).
|
|
`docs/moving-to-linux.md` is the procedure. Memory moves with
|
|
[[schos-memory-sync]]: `import` after arriving, `export` and commit after a
|
|
session that learned something.
|
|
|
|
**Three things only the Linux machine can do**, and they are the reason the move
|
|
matters:
|
|
|
|
1. **`make ports`** builds musl, toybox and mksh from source. Windows cannot do
|
|
it at all — the build skips ports and uses whatever is staged in `sysroot/`,
|
|
which is why `sysroot/bin/sh` still carries the pre-rename symbol
|
|
`__schunix_tp`.
|
|
2. **The SchFS round-trip test** needs symlinks and hard links, which Git Bash
|
|
cannot create, so it skips on Windows. **It has never actually run** — the
|
|
one part of SchFS with no coverage.
|
|
3. **KVM.** A Ryzen box has SVM, so QEMU runs at native speed. Deliberately not
|
|
the Makefile default: the suite's timings were set under TCG.
|
|
|
|
**PowerShell has no Fedora package**, and `tools/windows/bootcheck.ps1` is the
|
|
test suite. pwsh runs it on Linux fine; it comes from Microsoft's repo or the
|
|
GitHub tarball. Nothing else needs it.
|
|
|
|
**Never push.** There is no git remote and there should not be one until
|
|
Nexoniarz says otherwise — see [[nexoniarz-sharing-preference]]. "Push to git"
|
|
in this project means commit locally.
