Phoronix: Microsoft Makes An Interesting Improvement To Kernel Modules With Linux 6.13

Sent out on Tuesday was the modules pull request for Linux 6.13 that have some low-level improvements but it noted that the biggest kernel modules highlight wasn't in that pull request itself but had been added by way of the memory management pull. This was a change by a Microsoft engineer around caching of kernel modules into huge pages...

One day, Microsoft will switch to Linux, offering Wine as compatibility layer.

What's so special about this that microshit must be in headline? Mike Rapoport was sending commits from IBM email in the past and nobody cared. How much microsoft paid you for this propaganda?

This site literally posts about various interesting commits/patches every day, but because this one comes from a Microsoft employee it must be propaganda...

You don't say? It's second time in short amount of time this site is praising microsoft. The last time it was revealed microsoft had nothing common with the patch. I bet it may be the case here as well. Get out with this video clown.

Leaving aside the obvious attempt at trolling, while true that not everyone's association is explicitly mentioned, I do find it interesting because it gives you some insights about what Microsoft considers important for their customers.

That's because these days it's "cool" to make fun of the regulations and protections we've had for so long that we've forgotten why they're even there. Raw Milk, Vaccines, Environmental Regulations, Funding Schools, Free Software, High Income Taxes....

It ain't cool to be a fucking fool.

It took a combination of developers to make the original GNU/Linux that needed the help and protection from organizations like the FSF and the EFF to not be stifled by the corporations so that a FOSS ecosystem of developers and software could thrive well enough to need testing and benchmarking which could be fulfilled by an origination like Phoronix.

Why are they allowing an evil company like Microsoft to submit code that improves Linux performance?

I wouldn't trust anything coded by Microsoft, you see what a mess Windows is, broken by design, full of bugs, with built in spyware, always getting hacked, why would you want that for Linux?

Linus and friends should be ashamed of themselves, selling out like this.

Boo, hiss.
