What is the difference between linux kernel lectures and linux kernel labs?

The lectures focus on theoretical and Linux kernel exploration. The labs focus on device drivers topics and they resemble "howto" style documentation. Each topic has two parts:

In respect to this, However, on a closer look, we can see that system calls are actually not function calls, but specific assembly instructions (architecture and kernel specific) that do the following: In Linux, system calls are identified by numbers and the parameters for system calls are machine word sized (32 or 64 bit).
In fact,
Linux (/ˈlɪnəks/ ( listen) LIN-əks) is a family of free and open-source software operating systems built around the Linux kernel. Typically, Linux is packaged in a form known as a Linux distribution (or distro for short) for both desktop and server use.
Subsequently,
Linux kernel is also derived from Unix. The major difference between Unix and Linux based operating systems is not in the presentation part, but on how they work internally, i.e. mainly at the kernel part. The difference between the two will also depend upon which exact versions of Linux and Unix you are comparing.
