And of course many will wait for 19.3.1 as the first stability and reliability release after the 19.3.0 development release.

Some use cases apparently show a performance regression. Remember that the hyperscallers have use cases that are somewhat different than what others...

There are always good use cases (most obviously for guest or kiosk style logins), and no one was suggesting disabling empty/no passwords as a possible...

While there is sometimes non-trivial work to do so, enterprise distros can backport useful functionality. You should work with your TAM to put in the...

Arguable, the 5-level paging support (on by default with 5.5, and support added for KVM) is the most important feature, even if it is only going to be...

RPi used Broadcom because Broadcom was willing to provide a SoC at a very cheap price point (under the price point for the equivalent SoC to alternative...

He said that explicitly with a recent LKML post ("the 13-year old in me").

What we seem to be arguing is not whether there should...

Technically, they probably don't need to switch, although switching has some well understood benefits for a large code base such as gcc.

It should be noted that GCC has decided to place a marker on the ground such that on Dec 16th, the most complete conversion solution will be chosen, and...

And the gcc developers who prefer git are probably using it, with the git-svn integration, to let the upstream project continue to look like svn while...

The issue is that ESR fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less...

Some has been in the kernel since the the mid 4-x days. But remember it is more than just the SoC, it is also the specific board layouts that utilize...

In C++23, a new operator @('_')@ has been proposed to facilitate monkey patching....

[CommunityMember]

It is good that enablements are making it to the mainline kernel. It would be better if Broadcom (for the SoC), and the RPi foundation (for the board...

For desktop usage, you are likely correct. nVidia is interested in maintaining their lead in the datacenter, where the real revenue is, and where Linux...

oneAPI provide another higher level abstraction (DPC++) and builds on SYCL (of which OpenCL is a subset)....

Some of the PCI/HIPPA/etc. compliance requirements refer to FIPS standards. And while companies may not have FIPS as a strict requirement, being able...

I believe it is on one of the "typical pricing" pages (and anyone who knows AWS pricing knows there is nothing typical about the pricing, as...

There are certain workloads where raw CPU is not a/the bottleneck. A slower, cheaper, instance can have pricing benefits for such use cases, and ARM...

Unfortunately, still no lightsail graviton instances available for people to easily get their feet wet with minimal friction (sure, anyone with a bit...
