Weird? Permission?
I have altered the Kernel, pray I don’t alter it any further.
permission
the power of free/libre software
This happens on Mac as well btw. kexts are kernel extensions
You’re not really changing anything, you’re adding functionalities. Also, it appears that apple has limited their capabilities and doesn’t even recommend them anymore, so it wouldn’t be crazy if they just deprecated them in favor of system extensions, which sadly they don’t call sexts. On the surface, kexts appear to be basically userland ioctls, which you have on windows too.
10+ year Mac user here. It’s a bit sad but better for system stability. A lot of weird hardware and software used to just inject kexts instead of doing stuff in userspace. This can cause weird issues like battery drain, crashes etc. which are hell to debug as a “average user”. I don’t really miss running “Entre Check” to figure out weird issues :D
