A New Linux Kernel Has Been Released And It's One Of The Largest Ever
ZDNET, Monday, January 8th, 2024
Linux kernel 6.7 is now available for use. Here's what to expect.
According to Linux creator (and lead kernel developer) Linus Torvalds, Linux kernal "6.7 is (in number of commits: over 17k non-merge commits, with 1k+ merges) one of the largest kernel releases we've ever had, but the extra rc8 week was purely due to timing with the holidays, not about any difficulties with the larger release."
This might well be the largest Linux kernel (by size) to have ever been released. It's definitely big. Along with that "bigness" comes several new features, hardware support, and various improvements.
