it is not that hard. It can be understood, and kernel writers aren't
generally starting out by pouring over the code base to learn how it
works. OS operations can be taught conceptually, with kernel code
source as an example. The Love text is a bit old at this point.

I don't think that will be a useful way to learn to code the kernel.
I'm suprised that there has been no new text since Loves work :(
