    I’m still on 6.6. 6.7 onwards (including 6.8-rc7) caused flickering and crashes with VRR enabled after waking up from standby on my Radeon 7800 XT. I’ll check out the final version, but I doubt this is fixed.

      That flickering, is it only on Wayland? I’m on 6.7 and have flickering on Wayland but not X11.

        Yes. Fedora 39, KDE Plasma 5, Wayland, VRR on dual displays.

    Anther exciting release! Looking forward to the new bcachefs performance improvements (and fsck, finally) and KSM advisor - hopefully with this, KSM becomes more practical.

      Meanwhile in Mint, I can only get BTRFS by partitioning the hard drive manually.

          No, a magnetized needle and a steady hand is all you need.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
