The Most Exciting Kernel Optimizations, New Hardware Support & Other Linux 6.13 Features


With Linus Torvalds expected to release Linux 6.13 stable this coming Sunday, 19 January, here's a reminder about the most exciting features, performance optimizations, and new hardware support arriving for this first major kernel release of 2025.

This driver allows Linux users to select whether they prefer new tasks placed first on the CCD with larger cache or with higher clock frequencies. Also another nice Raspberry Pi addition is the initial RPi Camera Front End "CFE" vide capture support. Linux 6.13 is currently scheduled to debut as stable on 19 January barring any last minute code issues or concerns being raised to Torvalds.
