AMD Appears To Be Aiming For Good Radeon RDNA4 GPU Support In Linux 6.11


While Linux 6.10-rc7 is due out this weekend and it's usually around the -rc6 timeframe when is the effective new material cut-off to DRM-Next of new graphics/display driver code aiming for the next kernel cycle, AMD is working to squeeze a bit more in for the upcoming Linux 6.11 cycle.

Seeing AMD eager to get the new IP support tied off for Linux 6.11 is promising and hopefully reflecting that the initial open-source driver enablement for the next-generation GPUs is coming along nicely. So if AMD is able to get this new RDNA4 IP all squared away that will be great for allowing a nice out-of-the-box experience with Q4 Linux distribution releases. Hopefully the OpenGL and Vulkan driver support is similarly in good shape for the Mesa 24.2 release due out later this quarter.
