Hi all,

As I can see in Sysprogs Tutorials the last post on VisualKernel is for 2 years ago (2023) but for VisualGDB that last post was some few days ago (2025), I fear that VisualKernel is dead, please tell me, my concern is not correct, and your product (VisualKernel) is live and you plan to long support that, update that and modern that?

Thanks

VisualKernel is a much more niche product that VisualGDB. It solves a narrow subset of problems that are relevant to a smaller number of users, hence it is not updated as regularly.

Based on the feedback we receive, many users would appreciate a direct way to run VisualKernel on Linux and not have to install Windows + Visual Studio in a virtual machine.

We are working on a technology that will allow doing that, while retaining all advanced features (e.g. tracing). It will be first integrated into VisualGDB and another brand-new cross-platform product, and will then make its way into VisualKernel. Until then, we are not planning to do any major VisualKernel updates.

I think I do not underestand correctly your meaning, do you mean you want drop visual studio?! (I think the main value and benefits for your products that support and deeply integrate with visual studio, in another way, I think many of your users (like us) chose your product because Visual Studio is very good product)

We have to follow the market demand. We will initially offer both versions side-by-side, and will then decide based on the amount of users interested in each one.
