- kid64 2y agoI don't get the Raspberry Pi part. Prior kernel versions already run on that device?
- rcxdude 2y agoNot mainline. Distros that support Rpi ship a fork of the kernel
- bananapub 2y agofor historical (Arm didn't used to have an enumerable bus to find devices, in the way the PC has PCI) and economic (vendors want to do as little work as possible, so they hack up one kernel version to run on their hardware then move on to the next hardware) mainline kernels haven't been able to boot on Arm devices. some absolutely heroic work has happened over the last fifteen years or so and it's now much better and we're now reaping those benefits - hardware can run normal mainline kernels and so expect to get "security updates" and "features" over time instead of being frozen on one version or carrying massive invasive annoying decaying patches against mainline.

- bananapub 2y agothere's two separate problems: 1. Qualcomm doesn't give a fuck about mainline linux 2. technical issues that have been worked on as described above as far as I know, 1) is as yet unsolved for this issue
- usr1106 2y agoThe kernel newbies link in TFA is usually worth reading, albeit a bit technical / low level. (Haven't done it yet and haven't followed the kernel recently, so cannot comment how complete it is this time / at the moment)
