    Phoronix: Oracle Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel R6U1 Prepares For AMD Milan, Adds WireGuard

    After announcing Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel 6 back in March as their modified kernel based currently on the Linux 5.4 source tree while adding and back-porting extra features, UEK R6U1 was released today as their first major update to this kernel that can be found on the likes of Oracle Linux and powering the Oracle Cloud...

    After all that information that I actually found interesting, wanna know what comes to mind?

    Hakuna Padata! What a wonderful phrase
    Hakuna Padata! Ain't no passing craze

    Seriously though, it'd be interesting if they go into the desktop market. What they're offering on the kernel side would pair nicely with ZFS, Bcachefs, and other things that come as kernel modules like certain graphics drivers. A desktop where your kernel doesn't break the FS or modules on an update is a nice idea, IMHO.

        Unbreakable Linux, the biggest lie ever told to mankind. Even worse than the "The Neverending Story" movie...

          It must have really broken your heart since it's the first and only comment since you created your account in 2018.

            In comparison to every other kernel it can be easily described as unbreakable. There's no other kernel tested in so many environments and scenarios. It seems your brain is broken.

              I am curious as to why you consider this more tested than say RHEL or SLES kernels. Oracle is largely selling OEL to existing Oracle customers and their environments aren't as broad as the market that other enterprise distributions serve.

                  It is just "Unbreakable" is a huge lie. It's like if I were to release KWin-lowlatency as "Zero Stutter Gaming Compositor" (obviously not true)

                    I meant the Linux kernel as a whole, not the Oracle one. I'm aware Oracle is leeching on RHEL.
