Aptivi<p><strong>Linux 6.17 RC2&nbsp;released!</strong></p><p>Linux 6.17 RC2 is now live for developers and curious users to try out. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to bug fixes have been integrated to this release candidate.</p><p>One of the most important changes made to the Linux 6.17 kernel was that the early performance regression, which caused the system to appear slower than it’s supposed to, has been finally fixed. For Framework Laptop 13 users, the headset detection has been fixed.</p><p>During the development of Linux 6.17, delays are to be expected due to Torvalds’ busy schedule. However, in the <a href="https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wiLHgdvJQkEW-pHcUuXOBJ9JOoKcZkzMaPSW60_-Mh90A@mail.gmail.com/T/#u" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">release announcement</a> for this version of the kernel, he said:</p><blockquote><pre>So it's been a very calm week, and this is one of the smaller rc2 releases we've had lately. I'm definitely not complaining, since I've been jetlagged much of the week, but I have this suspicion that it just means that next week will see more noise. And I'll be traveling again later in the week.<br><br>But hey, let's not be pessimistic. Maybe rc2 is small because this merge window just didn't have any real issues? Because that's bound to happen _eventually_, right? One day we're bound to hit that mythical merge window that doesn't introduce any bugs at all.<br><br>This merge window wasn't _that_ good, but maybe it was simply better than most?<br><br>Or maybe it's that much of Europe is still on vacation because it's August?<br><br>Anyway, most of the fixes in rc2 were to drivers - particularly block (although the biggest chunk of that was simply a removal of the drbd page pool code). The rest is mostly gpu, networking driver, and sound fixes. Some SCSI and firewire fixes too.<br><br>Outside of drivers, it's filesystems (smb, xfs, erofs, btrfs), core networking (including some new selftests), and some architecture fixes (mainly x86).<br><br>Other than that, minor random fixes. Shortlog appended.<br><br>Let's hope next week ends up as quiet. Wouldn't that be nice?</pre></blockquote><p><strong>Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 6.17?</strong></p><p><span></span></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/computer/" target="_blank">#Computer</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/computers/" target="_blank">#Computers</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/kernel/" target="_blank">#Kernel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/laptop/" target="_blank">#Laptop</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/laptops/" target="_blank">#Laptops</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux/" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux-kernel/" target="_blank">#LinuxKernel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/news/" target="_blank">#news</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/tech/" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/update/" target="_blank">#update</a></p>

Thorsten Leemhuis (acct. 1/4)<p>Thought #1 (when seeing this article):</p><p> It's slow-news season, so someone yet again wrote something about what happens when Linus for one reason or another stops maintaining <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a>, as it's been a while since that topic made the rounds.</p><p>Thought #2 (when reading ""When <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.kernel.org/users/torvalds" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>torvalds</span></a></span> goes, the sense of discontinuity will be hard to bear, and the opportunism of commercial interests to grow influence will be non-zero.

I decided to basically split the difference on my usual "early Sunday afternoon" schedule.<br><br>Anyway, due to travels, I wanted to do most of the heavy lifting the first week, and I can happily report that that part worked out well. I wouldn't want to do this most merge windows, but the bulk of the work was done before travel, and that meant that the straggler pulls were manageable while traveling. Thanks to everybody who got their pulls in early - you know who you are.<br><br>And the late stragglers then got a slightly more annoyed Linus as a result. Sorry about that.<br><br>Anyway, the merge window did end up looking fairly healthy, despite me having to go through a couple of bisections for trouble spots (one during travels with a laptop - not optimal, but thankfully it was at least one of the "reliable symptoms that bisect right to the culprit" kind). The stats look pretty normal both in patch size and in number of commits. That number being large enough that - as always - you only get the mergelog below as a kind of "view from 10,000ft" of the development process this time around.</pre></blockquote><p><strong>Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 6.17?</strong></p><p><span></span></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/computer/" target="_blank">#Computer</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/computers/" target="_blank">#Computers</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/kernel/" target="_blank">#Kernel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/laptop/" target="_blank">#Laptop</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/laptops/" target="_blank">#Laptops</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux/" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux-kernel/" target="_blank">#LinuxKernel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/news/" target="_blank">#news</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/tech/" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/update/" target="_blank">#update</a></p>
