It's a great stable kernel for end of 2023.

And for the ones who want to test new kernel options, I made a kernel tool management allowing kernel config / compil / packaging management

Waiting for 6.6.6 release.

The number you are looking for is actually (most likely) 616 so no need to wait to enjoy horns, tail and pitchfork on your kernel. In fact if you like things to go to hell there is another operating system starting with a letter that kind of look like horns, and a number that resembles a pitchfork. And trust me, while this OS is in fact quite stable these days it still tries to drive you to insanity with all is sinister ideas and demands!

Is that the one with the really impressive set of new daemons, but most of user land gets core-dumped & segmentation violated?

Does anyone know about articles/presentations about linux eevdf? Other than the lwn one linked many times on phoronix.

Yeah, that one. The BOFH will also rise from the pits of tech support to rule over IT departments around the world too.

Personally, I can't wait.
