Awwwwww yeah!

The Linux 6.8 kernel now enables low-latency features by default.

I lived to see this day. 🤯

What exactly does this mean for everyday Linux usage?

avidamoeba@lemmy.ca on 25 Apr 2024 20:09 collapse

That when there’s load on the system, fewer tasks will get slower, but also fewer things would complete overall in a given time frame. For example you should get fewer stutters in CS2 if a background task loads the system while you’re trying to nail someone with a scout. So long as CS2 has higher priority.

No thanks, I’ll wait for 26.10 (snappy snake).

Loucypher@lemmy.ml on 25 Apr 2024 20:42 next collapse

Why?

Samsy@lemmy.ml on 26 Apr 2024 13:11 collapse

Just a bad joke. 26.10 will be something with “s” and I put “snap” in it.

Dont know about the downvotes, but its a good one

Snappy Snake features -

Everything is now a snap. Your kernel and initrd? They’re snaps now (requires an updated grub with snap mounter. An /efi partition of less than 20GB is no longer supported). Apt is now a symlink to snap. Procfs and device nodes are all snaps. Instead of “perusing the legacy web2.0 internet with an html browser”, the new Canonical Snapium snaps you into modern digital snap-eriences powered by the Snapchain. The Linux CLI has been replaced with Gnome’s “Drag-n-snap Editor”.

Noble Numnut would have been much better.

LeFantome@programming.dev on 26 Apr 2024 21:40 collapse

Noble was used already

Nervous Numnut?

I always forget. Can we do a release upgrade to this or do we have to wait until 24.04.1?

Edit: Nvm. You can update today

sudo do-release-upgrade

lemmyreader@lemmy.ml on 25 Apr 2024 21:05 next collapse

🙂 I’ve seen several people, during some years now, recommended to wait for .1

rammer@sopuli.xyz on 26 Apr 2024 18:06 next collapse

I would still recommend it. At least for production environments.

umbrella@lemmy.ml on 26 Apr 2024 21:02 collapse

when does .1 usually come out?

You could even do it after the beta opened up. I tried on a fresh install of 22.04 and it broke.

Moobythegoldensock@lemm.ee on 25 Apr 2024 21:08 collapse

You can force one with the -D (development branch) flag, but otherwise it doesn’t get pushed until 24.04.1.

MindlessZ@lemm.ee on 25 Apr 2024 23:06 collapse

-d is required if you’re on an lts until .1. If you’re on mantic you should be able to upgrade without it

That’s a cute lil guy (and not a bat as I was expecting)

Beautiful!

I installed it today and I can’t get sound working, the crate link context menu is missing, I can’t create symbolic links at all. Hdd is hard to detect,

nfsu2@feddit.cl on 27 Apr 2024 03:22 collapse

Can’t wait to see Youtubers review Gnome 46 and call it an Ubuntu review.
