A Debian VM for the labs that need systemd and real block devices, then an honest account of which labs WSL2 can and cannot run.

A static BusyBox, a directory skeleton, and an /init packed into an initramfs — early user space made concrete instead of magical.

From defconfig to a bootable image, including the debug options that make the rest of this section's labs possible.

Attaching a debugger to the virtual CPU, loading vmlinux symbols, and walking live kernel structures — the highest-leverage skill in this section.

Cloning or downloading the pinned kernel, what the repository costs in disk and time, and a first orientation pass through the tree.

Why QEMU is the spine of every lab here, what to install on the host, and what each lab host badge means.
