OS textbook from the Arpaci-Dusseaus (UW–Madison), free online at pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP. The "three easy pieces" are virtualization (CPU, memory), concurrency (threads, locks, condvars, semaphores), and persistence (I/O, file systems, journaling, distributed FS). Chapter-per-concept, conversational tone, build-as-you-read. Currently being read by the eatonphil-bookclub (2026): cohort page.
