20 Years in the making: Real-Time Linux finally makes it to the kernel
Briefly

from ZDNET5 months ago
Real-Time Linux is important because it integrates real-time capabilities into the Linux kernel, allowing it to handle time-sensitive applications, making Linux viable for mission-critical systems.

Unlike general-purpose operating systems like Windows or macOS, an RTOS is built to respond to events and process data within strict time constraints, often measured in milliseconds or microseconds.

Real-time is the fastest worst-case scenario; it’s not about speed, but rather about reliability and guaranteed task completion within strict deadlines.

As the Real-Time Linux code is now part of all Linux distros in the upcoming kernel, it will broaden Linux's applications in critical and industrial sectors.
