Linux 7.0 Released With New Hardware Support, Optimizations & Self-Healing XFS
As expected the stable Linux 7.0 kernel was just released today in marking this next kernel release. The Linux 7.0 milestone comes due to Linus Torvalds' preference of bumping the major version number after hitting X.19 as opposed to any single major change, but in any event there are a lot of great improvements and changes to find with this new kernel version. Linux 7.0 is also what's powering the upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release.
There are many Linux 7.0 features and changes including more Intel Nova Lake enablement, more Intel Crescent Island accelerator bring-up, new AMD graphics IP blocks being enabled, self-healing capabilities for the XFS file-system, various performance optimizations, Intel TSX now defaults to auto mode, standardized generic I/O error reporting for the Linux kernel at long last, and much more as we have covered in dozens of Phoronix articles in recent weeks.

I'm most excited for the explicit congestion notification and lazy preemption by default. Really bleeding edge kernel features.
Oh shit. Oh fuck. Wh-what happens when we get to 19.19?!
1,00.00?
Otherwise we might encounter finger&toe_overflow_exception
This is wild. It doesn't seem like 2.4 was all that long ago!
Are we old?
I'm going with seasoned. The Pentium II I ran Gentoo on is old 😄
HDMI 2.1? Are you kidding?
Take it up with the fuckwits that are blocking support.
It's not their fault it's a licensing thing.
DisplayPort is the superior adapter.
Could you explain this comment because i curious?
The HDMI Consortium refuses to allow Linux support for the latest standard.
So i started diving into this starting with the article you linked and this seems to be specific to amd. From what i read nvidia uses a closed source implementation for this reason.
So @cub gucci, this isnt a linix thing
Ah, yes, I should've said open-source support.
I use Arch, BTW 😝 (couldn't help myself, but also only technically true - I run SteamOS)
Yeah, just wanted to understand the status of hdmi without opening the article. Thanks, my drones 😊
Oh, fuck you, have your upvote! 😝🤣
Same, I don't see anything about hdmi in there
