Hi, in 2024 I was mostly occupied with lending a helping hand with DDE Linux (“Yes, the same procedure as every year, James!”), updating and adding new drivers on various platforms. Apart from that there was the usual debugging and fixing of nagging issue.
I reckon 2025 is going to go in a similar direction but at least two topics come to mind I plan spending time on: ❶ I would like to retire VBox for my personal usage and with the great groundwork Alex did for Seoul that is a realistic goal. (Most OSes I would like to use in a VM by now all support VirtIO devices and are not supported by the guest-additions anyway.) Apart from that looking into things like libkrun, i.e. partially isolated environments using virtualization, and how we could integrate such a solution is tempting but probably too extensive. ❷ I would like to have a more debug-oriented sculpt.img that eases diagnosing problems when encountering unknown or not anticipated hardware (like containing multiple different bootable configurations excercising different aspects). (This falls somewhat in line with using 'boot_fb' for bootstrapping purposes and starting the appropriate driver component afterwards as was already briefly discussed elsewhere.)
