This should be the poster kernel for Ubuntu Satanic Edition.

Still no bcachefs? Wasn’t in the article.

bitteorca@artemis.camp on 11 Sep 2023 22:15 next collapse

Yes, bcachefs isn’t going to be in 6.6

caseyweederman@lemmy.ca on 11 Sep 2023 23:54 next collapse

The Linux kernel doesn’t pass the bcachefs test.

d3Xt3r@lemmy.nz on 12 Sep 2023 00:45 collapse

Linus Torvalds himself had some issues compiling it or something, so it got rejected. The bcachefs dev wasn’t too happy and thru a hissy fit, calling the whole process “kafkaesque”, and declared that he’ll be going offline for a while.

Make Linux 6.6.6 an LTS version.

RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml on 12 Sep 2023 13:31 next collapse

if you boot into a 6.6.6 kernel with a idkfa flag it actually boots into UEFI-DOOM.

yum13241@lemm.ee on 12 Sep 2023 13:38 collapse

Hahahahah, I already knew about UEFI-DOOM and it sucks to play.

gogozero@lemmy.sdf.org on 12 Sep 2023 14:11 collapse

yes, the scary number. followed shortly by vendor patches to make it 6.6.7 (MHz) so that customers arent frightened

You’ll see this kernel in RHEL 13. ;)

EEVDF is the thing that is exciting about it.
