All the interesting changes from performance improvements to bug fixes have been integrated to this release candidate.</p><p>In the release announcement for this version of the kernel, <a href="https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wjaAJX1zbHhiG3UWOgqauAwPZGbOv+_f64oUPAgS7Acvg@mail.gmail.com/T/#u" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Linus Torvalds</a> said:</p><blockquote><pre>Absolutely nothing in here looks all that odd. The bulk of the changes are to drivers, with all the usual suspects (ie gpu and networking tends to be the most noticeable, but we've got usb, rtc, platform drivers etc too).<br><br>And there's various filesystem fixes in here too, with several filesystems having sent updates last week. Not that any of them are particularly large, but there's just several filesystems that all decided to send in their fixes last week: xfs, btrfs, smb and nfs clients, bcachefs and netfs).<br><br>Other than that it's the usual random sprinkling of fixes.</pre></blockquote><p><strong>Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 6.16?</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>

mgorny-nyan (he) :autism:🙀🚂🐧<p>New set of <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Gentoo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gentoo</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> Distribution Kernels (6.1.143, 6.6.96, 6.12.36, 6.15.5) is out. This set brings some major changes:</p><p>• I've backported a bunch of changes from sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel to sys-kernel/vanilla-kernel that were missing — notably wider architecture support.<br>• I've added default <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/RISCV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RISCV</span></a> configs to 6.12 (in addition to 6.15), since Fedora had them.<br>• All three packages are based off the baseline kernel tarball + upstream patch (vanilla-kernel used to fetch patch-level tarball every time, and gentoo-kernel* used genpatches for patch versions). This should reduce disk space and bandwidth use.<br>• All three packages now support verify-sig. Rather than verifying the uncompressed tarball signature, we now use upstream `sha256sums.asc` file to verify the compressed tarball and patch.<br>• sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel* now repackages genpatches. This means patchset that's much leaner and faster to apply (since we just fetch and use the combined upstream patch rather than including point patches). This also means that we are able to release Distribution Kernels before gentoo-sources are done.</p><p>The changes still need to be done to 5.15 and 5.10 branches — we're going to do for the next upstream releases of these.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/kernel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kernel</span></a></p>
