    Phoronix: The New Features Of The Linux 4.11 Kernel

    If all goes according to plan, Linus Torvalds will have announced the first release candidate of the upcoming Linux 4.11 kernel before the day is through. The Linux 4.11-rc1 release also marks the end of the feature merge window for this kernel cycle. So with that said, here is a look at the new features of the Linux 4.11 kernel that I have been covering through closely watching the Git repository and mailing list over the past two weeks.

    I hope file managers quickly support statx(), I'd like to be able to sort files by creation time.

      Didn't Linux 4.11 also get support for new HDMI standards on AMD Radeon? Like support for 60 Hz at 4K resolutions?

        Don't believe so? Are you thinking of DAL/DC? If so that display code hasn't landed yet.

            I'll have Ryzen cpufreq governor tests going up on Monday.

                If 60 Hz @ 4K is part of DAL/DC then yes I'm thinking of that and am sad to hear it still didn't make it into Linux Any info on why it is taking so long? Didn't imagine it was so complicated to support 60 Hz @ 4K.

                  Will this kernel make it into Ubuntu 17.04?

                    No 17.04 will use 4.10
