Phoronix: Ubuntu 24.10 Prepares To Employ The Linux 6.11 Kernel

Thanks to the Canonical decision to commit to shipping the very latest upstream Linux kernels in Ubuntu releases moving forward, Ubuntu 24.10 shipping in October will have the Linux 6.11 kernel that is debuting as stable in mid-September. Canonical's kernel engineers are currently preparing for rolling out that new kernel version in the Oracular Oriole archive...

Looking good for people wanting to use newly released hardware on a point release such as the upcoming RDNA 4 graphics cards.

I love Ubuntu but I wish Canonical could get Apache, Lighttpd, Nginx, Cockpit, MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Bun, Deno, and Valkey packaged in the Snap store.

That's the kind of stuff I stopped messing with on bare OS a long time ago...
They have invented "proper" containers for that.
Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, Portainer whatever..
For single node workloads I kinda like the podman systemd integration (formerly known as Quadlet).
Just enable lingering for the user running the container workloads (rootless) and call it a day.

Yes, I don't want to run those stuff on a bare OS either, which is why I want to run them with Snap.

Snap is great, it already comes with Ubuntu so it works out of the box, and everyone knows how to use it already, and I already use it for other software such as Blender, Node.js, and more.

I don't know how to use Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, Portainer, or whatever, I think it probably some advanced technology for system administrators or such, I just use simple software like Snap and I can install/uninstall software with the Ubuntu App Center app.
