Linux Kernel 6.5 Released, This is What’s New

Helping to round off August with aplomb is the official release of Linux kernel 6.5 — just a few days after the kernel celebrated its 32nd birthday too. Linus Torvalds announced Linux 6.5’s arrival on the official Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) as he always does, where he says that “nothing particularly odd or scary happened this last week [of development], so there is no excuse to delay the 6.5 release”. Read on for a drop more detail about the many improvements, enhancements, and merriments the latest stable kernel release brings with it. Linux Kernel 6.5 New Features Those running :sys_more_orange:

Using Mainline Linux Kernels on Ubuntu LTS Releases Gets (A Bit) Easier

There’s a new way to install stable mainline Linux kernel builds on Ubuntu — all thanks to a former Canonical employee and Ubuntu developer. Stéphane Graber has been running mainline Linux kernels on his Ubuntu systems for a while (having found the quality of Ubuntu’s generic kernel lacking of late) and says they are “working surprisingly well”. Thus, he’s put in the effort needed to “scale” up building the latest stable bug fix release of the mainline Linux kernel, applying select changes not yet upstream, and making them available for other Ubuntu users to install on their machines. I’ll get :sys_more_orange:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Users Can Now Upgrade to Linux Kernel 6.2

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS users can now upgrade to Linux kernel 6.2 using the Software Updater tool. Ahead of the formal Ubuntu 22.04.3 point release due next week (August 10) Canonical has issued an updated kernel to existing LTS existing users to install. It back-ports the Linux 6.2 kernel used in Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster”. Typically, HWE updates roll out once the formal point release itself is made. This time the update has arrived earlier – which is great news for those already on the LTS as it means they can benefit from all the new features in Linux 6.2 without :sys_more_orange:

Linux Kernel 6.2 Released, This is What’s New

A new version of the Linux kernel is available with a collection of important hardware, performance, and security improvements. Announcing the Linux kernel 6.2 release on the Linux kernel developer mailing list (LKML), creator Linus Torvalds urges people to try it out, noting: “Maybe it’s not a sexy LTS release like 6.1 ended up being, but all those regular pedestrian kernels want some test love too.” As you know, the Linux kernel is developed and maintained by a worldwide community of engineers and enthusiasts. While a great number of those who contribute to the Linux kernel do so as part :sys_more_orange:

Linux Kernel 5.19 Released with Major Network Improvements + More

A brand new version of the Linux kernel is available to download, arriving at the til end of July or the start of August depending on your locale. Linux 5.19 is a pretty sizeable update all told, and it features a litany of low-level optimisations, notable improvements to networking support, all-important security fixes, and lots more. In announcing the release on the Linux Kernel Mailing List, Linus Torvalds remarks “…the most interesting part here is that I did the release (and am writing this) on an arm64 laptop. It’s something I’ve been waiting for for a _loong_ (sic) time, and :sys_more_orange:

Linux Kernel 5.18 Released, This is What’s New

Ahoy, a brand new Linux kernel release is now available to download. Linus Torvalds, creator of Linux, announced the release of Linux 5.18 in a short email to the Linux Kernel Mailing List, writing: “No unexpected nasty surprises this last week, so here we go with the 5.18 release right on schedule”. So what’s new? Among the headline changes is the (somewhat) controversial inclusion of Intel Software Defined Silicon (SDSi) driver to the mainline kernel. This driver (to cut a long story short) restricts access to certain processor features if a certificate from Intel isn’t present. Some fear SDSi will :sys_more_orange:

Linux Kernel 5.16 Released with Gaming Boost, Nintendo Joy-Con Drivers + More

The Linux Kernel just received its major update of the year — and if you’re a gamer, it’s a corker! Linus Torvalds announced the availability of Linux kernel 5.16 exactly where he always announces it: the Linux kernel mailing list. The Linux 5.16 release was delayed by week or so due to the appearance of a red-suited bearded fellow, something Torvalds notes in his announcement where he quips: “we had that extra week due to the holidays, and it’s not like we had lots of last-minute things that needed to be sorted out”.

What better way to kickstart a brand new month than with a brand new Linux kernel. Yes, Linux 5.15 is now officially released. Announcing the new kernel’s arrival on the Linux Kernel mailing list Linux founder Linus Trovalds writes: “The last week of 5.15 was mainly networking and gpu fixes, with some random sprinkling of other things (a few btrfs reverts, some kvm updates, minor other fixes here and there – a few architecture fixes, couple of tracing, small driver fixes etc)”, adding that “…on the whole 5.15 was fair small and calm (sic)”.

Linux Kernel 5.14 has been released — and it’s a rather modest update compared to recent releases. Announcing the latest release, Linux founder Linus Torvalds couldn’t resist poking fun at all of the attention his ‘hobby’ project received for its 30th anniversary last week, remarking: I realize you must all still be busy with all the galas and fancy balls and all the other 30th anniversary events, but at some point you must be getting tired of the constant glitz, the fireworks, and the champagne.
