On Halloween, Linus Torvalds announced the availability of the next mainline, Linux Kernel 5.15.

While Linux Kernel 5.14 focused on improvements for ARM-based systems, the focus seems to be on some significant changes this time.

 

1. Improved NTFS3 Driver

2. Improvements for AMD CPUs/GPUs

3. Enhanced Support for Intel Alder Lake

4. Initial Support for Intel DG2/Alchemist Discrete Graphics and XeHP

5. Improved Apple M1 Support

 

Other Key Improvements

Several significant optimization and improvements follow along with Linux Kernel 5.15. Here are some of the noteworthy improvements:

Optimizations for EXT4 filesystems

Support for FUSE to mount an active device

Btrfs performance improvements

Removal of Canon Lake graphics support

Debian here, well, I know that someday this kernel will be implemented :) Although Debian for me is really fast enough.

It's more like, what didn't they add for 5.16?

 

That's a lot of stuff going in there.

    • Steam overlay's FPS counter gets major upgrade to show CPU and VRAM usage, temps, and more

      By dustojnikhummer · Posted

      I don't think RTSS can show the real framerate. In fact, this is the first time I have ever heard about anything showing it.

      Yeah, Deck's overlay has CPU temps. Maybe they don't want to rely on external dlls to provide CPU temperature graphs on all machines? From my experience with Rivatuner it can be annoying to select the correct CPU temperature sensor.

      Why would I be praising Microsoft? You do realize I'm well aware the Gamebar is a stinking pile of crap and has been for years, right? Or are you one of those "if you don't critique something at every turn you area clearly a fanboy" people? Yes, MangoHUD is built into SteamOS's Big Picture mode, and up until a few weeks ago, SteamOS was exclusive to... the Steam Deck... for 3 years. Yet you were talking about it as if you didn't need to set it up yourself, like it was built into other distributions, which it wasn't. So if we ignore the real/fake framerate feature, it's really not much different than me setting up my Rivatuner/HWInfo overlay, is it? Valve had the option of building MangoHUD into Steam, like they are doing it now, for 3 years. So let's not pretend Windows hasn't had a basic way to display your framerate built in, keeping well aware how crap it actually is. And I'm not even counting your GPU driver company, because Nvidia, AMD and Intel have their own (somehow even worse than GameBar) overlays. And of course they won't tell you fake/real framerate, why would Nvidia nor AMD want to tell you? That is absolutely a +1 on Valve.
    • End of an era? Kubuntu is removing default support for X11 in new installs

      As much as I like the push towards Wayland (is Gnome still bickering about window decorations and "you are doing it wrong"ing rest of the industry?) but as an admin, the fact that the FreeRDP (because VNC is dead) implementation is not functional yet is really annoying, as that is what RHEL10, and Debian13, will be stuck with for the next 3-8 years.
