A kernel is a component of a computer operating system. [1] A comparison of system kernels can provide insight into the design and architectural choices made by the developers of particular operating systems.
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.

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.
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Desktop uses Linux kernel 5.17 for newer hardware and a rolling HWE (hardware enablement) kernel based on version 5.15 for other hardware; Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server uses version 5.15, while Ubuntu Cloud and Ubuntu for IoT use an optimized kernel based on version 5.15. It updates Python to 3.10 and Ruby to 3.0. [274]
This expanded API is what is called Kernel Mode-setting (KMS) and the drivers which implement it are often referred to as KMS drivers. In March 2009, KMS was merged into the Linux kernel version 2.6.29, [30] [143] along with KMS support for the i915 driver. [144] The KMS API has been exposed to user space programs since libdrm 2.4.3. [145]
Fedora Linux [7] is a Linux distribution developed by the Fedora Project.It was originally developed in 2003 as a continuation of the Red Hat Linux project. It contains software distributed under various free and open-source licenses and aims to be on the leading edge of open-source technologies.
Kali Linux is currently distributed as a 64-bit images for use on hosts based on the x86-64 architecture and as an image for the ARM architecture for use on the Beagle Board computer and Samsung's ARM Chromebook. [19] With the release of 2024.4, 32-bit images based on the i386 architecture were officially dropped. [17] [20]
