## Health v2 (maintenance only)
Score: 66/100 (v2, computed 2026-09-02T17:46:02.011165+00:00)
- activity 75, release rhythm 35, longevity 100
- inputs: {"age_days": 3027, "days_push": 152, "days_rel": null, "gap_med": null, "n_releases_24m": 0}
- flags: no_releases
- formula: round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10)

## What it is
An interactive map and diagram of the Linux kernel architecture, originally drawn with Inkscape and published as an online demo. It visualizes kernel subsystems and their relationships for learning and reference.

## Use cases
- understand how linux kernel subsystems fit together
- find an architecture diagram of the linux kernel
- learn kernel internals visually
- reference map of kernel components while reading kernel code
- teach operating system internals with a visual map

## When to choose
- you want a visual overview of Linux kernel architecture and subsystem relationships
- you are teaching or learning operating systems internals
- you need a quick reference map while exploring kernel source

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date documentation of recent kernel versions
- you need executable tooling or automated kernel analysis rather than a static diagram

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, data-visualization
- domain: operating-systems, developer-tools, education
- platform: -
- tags: linux-kernel, diagram, svg, interactive-map, kernel-architecture, web, linux
