Linux 6.17 Will Be Exciting With Intel "Project Battlematrix" GPU Driver Changes & More


With Linux 6.16 expected to be released on Sunday unless an extra week of testing is deemed necessary, the Linux 6.17 merge window will then kickoff the next day

Based on monitoring the various subsystem "-next" trees and other mailing list activity, here is a look at many of the changes expected for Linux 6.17 barring last minute issues or other objections raised by Linus Torvalds. Linux 6.17 will be another exciting release with a ton of great work building up from multiple exciting Intel Xe graphics driver improvements, AMD SmartMux coming to Linux, various performance enhancements, several new driver additions / hardware support from AMD and Intel and others, and much more. Below is a look at some of the material on my radar that should be submitted for the upcoming Linux 6.17 merge window based on the code positioning within Git repositories.
