Linux 6.15 Features Deliver A Lot For Intel & AMD, Many Other Changes


The Linux 6.15 merge window ended on Sunday with the release of Linux 6.15-rc1.

With how things are currently trending Linux 6.15 stable should be out by the end of May or could slip to early June if an extra release candidate is needed. Among the many changes to find with Linux 6.16 are support for a lot of newer hardware, the "hugetlb_alloc_threads" option for speeding up large Linux server boot times, the initial Rust-written open-source NVIDIA "NOVA" kernel driver code merged yet but not yet remotely useful to end-users, other Rust kernel additions, IO_uring network zero-copy receive support, nice support for the Apple Touch Bars, Zstandard 1.5.7 compression update, and much more. This ultimate successor to the Nouveau driver is still in the very early stages of development and not yet usable or anything like that with Linux 6.15.
