Recommended Marketplaces
Journey fit
Linux kernel work is systems-level product construction, which maps to the build phase rather than launch or operate maintenance alone. Kernel patches, drivers, and subsystem changes are backend/systems engineering, not frontend or distribution work.
How it compares
Curated kernel-dev skill marketplace, not an MCP server or a single integration API.
