New project, new laptop 😎

An ASUS Rog Zephyrus G16 Intel Core Ultra 9 64GB RAM 2 TB SSD and an RTX 5090.

I installed Bluefin Linux, and I have ROS installed within a Docker container running Ubuntu 24.04 with Podman. Ready to hack!!! πŸ€“

The second edition of my book will be released on the 4th of July.

The book, updated to rolling/kilted, includes two new chapters:

1) Deep ROS 2: Executors, execution model, callback groups and Real-Time.
2) Contributing to ROS 2 software (licenses, git, .)

I hope you like πŸ€“
