maybe Garuda should hold off on the switchover til a good chunk of widgets are fixed. /shrug

Nooo…I think Nico & Co. are smart enough to take the sting out of the major version increment. Me, on the other hand, I take it personally. I swear to Gawd KDE has been out to get me, like, forever. :wink:

Linux kernel 6.6 is a big update that delivers an array of improvements, including a new CPU scheduler that promises to improve performance and reduce latency, a new memory-friendly eventfs subsystem, and improved drivers for a slew of gaming hardware.

And as with most kernel updates, developers are laying the groundwork for the future with ‘initial support’ for upcoming hardware, including new CPUs and GPUs from Intel.

Linus Torvalds announced the launch of Linux 6.6 in an email sent to the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML), where he wrote: “So this last week has been pretty calm, and I have absolutely no excuses to delay the v6.6 release any more, so here it is”.

They also claim that even though the memory consumption has increased, they can still provide a lightweight and fast browsing experience.
