Now that the Linux 6.14 merge window wrapped up this past weekend with the release of Linux 6.14-rc1, here is a recap of all the great new features, hardware enablement, and other improvements to find with this kernel. Linux 6.14 is now going through its release candidate phase while the stable v6.14 kernel will be out in March.

NTSYNC can be used moving forward with Wine / Steam Play (Proton) once the user-space patches land for allowing better Windows gaming performance with some titles. - The AMDXDNA driver was merged for that Ryzen AI NPU hardware support living under the DRM subsystem's "accel" area.
