"According to Linus Torvalds, Linux kernel 6.8 looks to be a small release that promises mostly updated drivers for graphics and networking, but also filesystem updates, mostly for bcachefs, XFS, Btrfs, and VFS, as well as architecture, tooling, mm, networking, core kernel, and documentation updates."
Apparently 6.8 is primarily updates. Not sure why the autor didn't add any inforation on what he/she is looking forward too
- halJordan 3y agoThe current LTS ships Linux 5.17. So rolling up the kernel changes since 5.17 and not just 6.7 -> 6.8 would probably be a little much. Is it not enough that he's happy for the next LTS to be one step more modern than previously expected?
- Grafikenjo 3y agoIt doesn't really add value if you don't know, from top of your head, what the big differences are. And apparently he took the time to write about it, so it wouldn't be hard for him t explain it
