Phoronix: Linux 6.7-rc5 Released: "Nothing Looks Particularly Scary"

Linus Torvalds just released the fifth weekly release candidate of the forthcoming Linux 6.7 kernel. He's happy with how things have been pacing this stage of the cycle, particularly as he's been battling travels and a head cold this week...

Because the holidays are almost upon us, and I'm woefully underprepared.

Me too Torvalds, Me too

bcachefs has an online fsck patch. it's not ready for 6.7, but that will be nice feature when it lands.

I didn't see it mentioned elsewhere, but the Devil's Kernel, 6.6.6, was released too. https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/ker...hangeLog-6.6.6

I'll compile this up and give it a shot later today. Was trying 6.7-rc4, since 7900XTX is just new enough to see meaningful changes, and I have some pesky HDMI and VRR bugs that seem to slowly be going away. 6.7-rc4 would occasionally hard-lock my machine on launching games via Steam and I didn't have time to triangulate/identify the problem. Maybe it's squashed in rc5.
