Real-time Linux leads kernel v6.12's list of new features


This major kernel release adds enhanced support for various hardware platforms and new devices. Even Linus Torvalds contributed some code.

This enables Linux to respond to events within microseconds, which is crucial for applications that require precise timing, such as industrial control systems, robotics, and audio production. The kernel also supports several new devices, including the ARM-powered GameForce Ace gaming handheld and ODROID-M15 and ODROID-M2 single-board computers. With its extensive list of improvements and new capabilities, Linux kernel 6.12 represents a substantial step forward for the open-source operating system, particularly in real-time computing, hardware support, and overall performance.
