Where did you get such an impression? The only things you need to
modify the kernel are the ability to program in c, a sufficient
understanding of kernel internals, and acceptance of your modification
by the kernel maintainers if you choose to submit it. All of these are
possible without a PhD, and having a PhD doesn't guarantee the holder
is capable of any of those.

Yes, this does seem to be the trend these days unfortunately. The only
ways to escape it seem to be to have rich parents, or to have enough
ingenuity to raise enough capital to go into business for yourself,
thereby telling the corporate hamster wheel you want no part in they're
rat race.

No need for you to apologize the way I see it. Ok, back to discussing devuan.
