"Released", but I can't actually download it from kernel.org yet.

Found the announcement though:

It shows up first here;

Linux libre tarball is up at fsfla. Time to get compiling.

Navi10 Support.. well while it's true, the experience is still bad (desktop environment lag and power consumption in idle). The final fixes should be in 5.4-rc1 though.

It's a shame they couldn't squeeze in Zen2 temp readings support.

If you want bleeding edge, get yourself familiar with git.

You can get better readings by using out of tree zenpower driver instead of K10temp.

Tried it, doesn't appear to work. Also it says it needs a custom compiled kernel to do it, which I can't do atm.

Navi firmware is still missing from linux-firmware.
