Linux 6.16-rc2: Smaller than usual, but with notable network and bcachefs tweaks by Paul Hill Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux kernel, has just released the second release candidate of Linux 6.16. Following the release of Linux 6.15, developers submitted their new features to be merged with Linux 6.16. These release candidates are focused on polishing the kernel before release, following the merging of new features. In his weekly mailing list post, Torvalds noticed that things were pretty quiet this week and that this could be due to developers taking a summer vacation or just taking a break following a large merge window a few weeks ago. This isn’t uncommon at this point in the cycle and Torvalds expects more activity next week. Networking and bcachefs dominate changes The second release candidate, despite being small, still brings some notable changes, namely network drivers, Bluetooth drivers, and bcachefs, a copy-on-write filesystem for Linux. The improvements to network drivers have a direct impact on end users, it means that newer networking hardware works out of the box when you install Linux and existing problematic drivers get fixed. There were also improvements made to the Rust infrastructure and core networking changes. Implementing Rust in the kernel is good for users as it has memory safety built in, leaving hackers less to attack in Linux systems. Rust has received backlash by some opinionated Linux developers who don’t want to learn a new language, but it doesn’t look like it’s going anywhere. Under the hood: specific fixes This week, a diverse set of developers have contributed fixes to the kernel that improve kernel stability, Bluetooth connectivity, file sharing over SMB, and virtualization performance. Some specific changes this week include: Fixes for CPU burning, firmware stats, and use-after-free (UAF) issues with the ath11k and ath12k Wi-Fi drivers. Various fixes for UAF, NULL pointer differences and advertising issues in Bluetooth drivers. Improvements to Server Message Block (SMB) related to directory cache reuse and a fix for performance regression with deferred closes. In KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), there are fixes for SEV-SNP support, memory pre-faulting, and ARM64 selftests. The SMB fixes are notable because it's an important protocol in networked Windows environments. It helps with file sharing, printer sharing, and Active Directory integration. By improving Linux’s support for this protocol, readers using SMB in Linux to talk to Windows machines will have a smoother experience. Ongoing development Linux 6.16 is due to get seven or eight release candidates over the cycle so there are now five or six weeks until the stable version arrives. Even when it is out, most people’s first use of this kernel will be when distributions decide to ship it, as they can be tricky to install manually. Stay tuned each week as we bring you all the new changes which each new release candidate. -

Just checked my B650 Motherboard again, nothing there as yet, Guess 800 series getting it first, which i can understand as that's newer series, and chipset. I'll check again in a few days or a week depending on how busy i am -

Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.1.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.1.5 changelog: Intel: Added NPU presence detection before removing shared DLL files (these were previously left to prevent potential NPU-related issues). Intel: Added optional NPU removal Improved "Extension" driver removal process. Updated several translations.

I just ordered a new MSI X870 board, hasn't even arrived yet. I checked the downloads page, and it has the firmware released on 6/11/2025 including the updated AGESA code.
