Phoronix: Torvalds Inclined To Release Linux 6.11 This Coming Sunday

With this past weekend's release of Linux 6.11-rc7, the kernel changes for the week were larger than prior RCs and Torvalds was a bit hesitant on releasing v6.11 this coming Sunday due to the upcoming that takes place next week in Vienna, Austria. But after a bit of time and feedback from other kernel developers, Torvalds is now more inclined to release Linux 6.11 this coming Sunday rather than dragging it out for an extra week...

Please do. I'm really hoping that AMD HDMI update fixes my audio problem.

I think a word must be missing here:

The upcoming what that takes place?

Yes, I know the nest paragraph explains it but this still reads a bit odd.

Side note, how great must it be to be so rich you can fly all over the world for "summits"?

Honestly, this has less to do with AMD and more to do with HDMI Forum's unwillingness to let AMD work in the opensource due to their proprietary foundations

Translation of Linus's statement:

I really don't want to release 6.11 this weekend but everyone is forcing me to so fuck it, take your unreliable 6.11 and GTFO.

In other words, to be avoided like the plague.

So far so good for 6.11 for me. AMD 7900x + 7900XTX + ASRock Taichi. Testing mainline, CachyOS, and AMD drm fixes kernels.
