Faster kernel builds and with lower peak memory use. Removed support for the Intel ICC compiler. 6.2 19 February 2023 [1] 6.2.16 [10] 17 May 2023 [31] Intel Arc drivers are now deemed "stable" and on by default. Initial FOSS support for NVIDIA GeForce 30 Series. But performance is poor for now. Support for Apple's M1
The Linux kernel is a free and open source, [12]: 4 Unix-like kernel that is used in many computer systems worldwide. The kernel was created by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and was soon adopted as the kernel for the GNU operating system (OS) which was created to be a free replacement for Unix.

Debian Unstable, known as "Sid", contains all the latest packages as soon as they are available, and follows a rolling-release model. [6]Once a package has been in Debian Unstable for 2-10 days (depending on the urgency of the upload), doesn't introduce critical bugs and doesn't break other packages (among other conditions), it is included in Debian Testing, also known as "next-stable".
The Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) is a subsystem of the Linux kernel responsible for interfacing with GPUs of modern video cards.DRM exposes an API that user-space programs can use to send commands and data to the GPU and perform operations such as configuring the mode setting of the display.
Linux kernel 3.1.0; Inclusion of GNOME 3.2.1 desktop; Updated to latest KDE Software Compilation 4.7.2; GRUB2 became the default boot-loader; Ext4 driver used for Ext3 and Ext2 file systems; HAL daemon removed in favour of udisks, upower, and libudev; Unification of the user interfaces for all problem reporting programs and mechanisms
The actual kernel depends on the individual device. [193] Android's variant of the Linux kernel has further architectural changes that are implemented by Google outside the typical Linux kernel development cycle, such as the inclusion of components like device trees, ashmem, ION, and different out of memory (OOM) handling.
During this time, the lower layers of the operating system (the Mach kernel and the BSD layers on top of it [11]) were re-packaged and released under the Apple Public Source License. They became known as Darwin. The Darwin kernel provides a stable and flexible operating system, which takes advantage of the contributions of programmers and ...
