Linux 6.9-rc7 Released: The Kernel Is Looking Good


Linus Torvalds just released Linux 6.9-rc7 and it's looking good like the Linux 6.9 stable kernel will hopefully be out next Sunday.

Torvalds' 6.9-rc7 announcement sums up the week as being in good shape for this late stage of the cycle and nothing out of the ordinary being raised: Sound stands out, but not in some scary way, and we've got the usual DRM updates and various random other subsystems (usb, pincontrol, networking, nvme..). Linux 6.9 features include larger console fonts for modern displays, Intel FRED, AMD Preferred Core with their P-State driver, the DM Virtual Data Optimizer landing, and much more.
