Just as anticipated, the Linux 6.5 kernel has landed in the Ubuntu 23.10 Mantic archive as the default kernel powering this next Ubuntu distribution release due out in October...

This brings back some fond memories.

I have used Linux for decades, since the late 90's and I used to always run Windows/Linux dual boots. When Fedora replaced Red Hat, i switched to it as my Windows companion, then Korora, which to me was what Fedora should have been. Then someone suggested I take a look at Ubuntu and this was right around Halloween 2015, which is when Ubuntu Willy Werewolf was released and I remember thinking to myself that finally, someone in the Linux community gets it, i thought it was the best distro I had ever tried.

I found a really nice werewolf pic to use as the desktop background and to this day, during the month of October, I use a werewolf pic as my desktop background.

:Looking forward to trying the Mate version of this.

As I usually do, I am on Mantic beta one month before release and yes the kernel version is 6.5.0-5 although I still use my custom kernel.

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8029824 Sep 13 07:41 vmlinuz-6.5.3-mirage

I am not recommending early upgrade, but for what it is worth, everything is working okay for me.

So it's not a Sabotage and you can stand it.

Yep, looks legit. I also tried gcc 13.2 to build the kernel. It is just fine too.
