Linux Kernel 6.12! Whats new? Whats coming next?

[@mirkodiciano4647]

the gains in kernels 6.12 and 6.13 are looking good for AMD users

[@Sam-rr4ek]

What gains are there for amd users

[@weathermanx]

This didn't age well for some AMD hardware lol

[@linuxnext]

Wdym?

[@LinuxIsForAll]

great video as always man, it feels good knowing all the improvements happening on my OS 💪🏻

[@kommanderkeen]

Man, your work is amazing. Thanks for sharing

[@linuxnext]

@@kommanderkeen thanks, the developers in the Linux kernel are doing gods work, I just love to share it :)

[@Rizlizard]

whoa my clone! /wave

[@lltalionll]

Nice, i upgraded to a 5700X3D in october and to a 7800 XT yesterday so i can't wait for 6.13 (from 3600X + 5700 XT since 2020). Linux is perfect for AMD user, a true plug & play and smooth experience even after an upgrade unlike another OS... sudo zypper dup

im excited for the DRM panic message because users of distros like gentoo and custom kernel users will probably be able to create their own custom "tux screens of death"

[@DiscoParachute]

Was decently surprised with the kernel improvements (I was also missing the amd-ucode package), STALKER 2 running a lot better now

[@BeastViper007]

Happy to see some of these features were already backported to CachyOS a while ago (few months?). And kernel 6.12 is also available now.

[@Vitis-n2v]

I just want to point out that the main point for DRM panic is having the ability to display the kernel panic screen. Currently if you get a kernel panic while a graphical session is running X11 or Wayland it just freezes on the last frame and you get no output of the kernel panic message, making debugging difficult. DRM panic enables the kernel to draw over the graphical session and display error message whether it's a wall of text or a QR code even over a frozen graphical session so you actually get some error output as opposed to just freeze. So people (mostly on the phoronix forums) that say we don't need BSOD in linux should read what the thing is even supposed to do before b*tching about it. It's a great feature and it's absolutely needed. /rantover

[@xDraga]

looking forward for the 6.13

[@urncjd]

18:35 As far as I understand, both the apu and discrete gpu can use the higher power profiles. However, many apu are used in laptop/mobile workloads, so they care more about power consumption.

[@77wolfblade]

looking good.

[@autohmae]

So basically, we've now reached the point where when Linux Torvalds makes code it reaches the news. Interesting how we ended up here. 🙂

[@notuxnobux]

I believe the new amd gpu power management profile also fixes a major issue I have with amd. I like to run x11 without a compositor for absolute best latency and smoothness and in that mode the gpu power usage is very low. When I move the cursor around the cursor can sometimes lag, so it doesn't move the amount expected. This means if I move the cursor in a circle it will not move in a circle randomly. It also produces random glitches on the screen. This is an issue with hardware cursor plane in amd drivers.

[@achaziel]

the better support for touch rings/strips on graphics tablets is very exciting for me. while my tablet does offer an X11 driver, it doesn't work in wayland sessions - and I kinda need to run wayland due to its better handling of ICC profiles, so this is very exciting indeed.

[@justiceiria869]

What does this mean for linux distros going forward? Will they get updated to this kernel?

[@vladimir_fomin90]

arch, manjaro, fedora, pika os, endeavour os

[@linuxnext]

For one 6.12 is the LTS kernel so Distros like Ubuntu LTS, Linux mint, zorin, debian, will be using this kernel For every other distro like fedora, nobara, bazzite, arch or arch based most already have this kernel installed and will continue to move forward when newer kernel releases happen

[@Yes-me4pk]

Will the AMD optimization related changes for 6.13 be enabled on its own once the system updates to 6.13 from a prior kernel or will these changes only be enabled on fresh new installs?

[@linuxnext]

They will be enabled once you're on 6.13

[@imcute3382]

is there's a software for 8bitdo in linux?

[@fabricio4794]

Baidoo?of course not,hahaha😂

[@linuxnext]

So far i haven't found any, would be cool tho and very handy, I bet someone will do it if the kernel drivers have the customisation available for configuring the controllers like the 8bitdo software has on windows at some point For me on my controller most things are done on the controller itselfs and I dont care about changing the actuation point of the triggers and firmware isn't a problem at the get go

[@imcute3382]

I actually buy the ultimate 2c yesterday when i saw the article that the latest kernel supports that controller and so far it way better than my previous controller

[@xzaratulx]

I can finally disable that zero rpm feature for my rx7800xt 😍 Fan is off for way too long while the RAM is getting quite hot (70°C). Feel that limits the performance and since everything is fine under windows...

[@magovermelhoffv4729]

Good video thanks

[@hicder810]

do you know how to enable lavd in arch?

[@InnerFire6213]

I’m using cachyos, but i have to use the alternative LTS kernel which is 6.6, it’s been 3 months now. if i use the latest kernel that’s suggested by the distro my wifi isn’t stable. Just tried 6.12, yup, the connection drops if it’s handling high speed internet traffic for a few minutes and i have to remove the dongle and attach it back

[@linuxnext]

What dongle is it?

[@InnerFire6213]

@ it’s a tp-link archer t4u v3. Inxi shows it’s using rtw_8822bu drivers. On older kernels it works fine.

[@Eddieddg1]

I missed the 6.12 arch kernel so am currently installing 6.12.1

[@linuxnext]

That's still 6.12 so you're fine lol, that's better then 6.12 😂

[@quill5579]

I really hope that the 6.13 kernel brings better drivers for Intel xe/arc battlemage cause currently it's a bit disappointing with the b580 compartment to Windows

[@linuxnext]

most of the performance problems lie in mesa if you are talking about gaming on b580 but yeah newer kernel version will improve it more

[@mikephillips5551]

Can't watch this video !! All that background changing is driving my eyes crazy !!

[@linuxnext]

Then skip it? Not rlly my problem that you can't focus, can't please everyone can we

[@fooboomoo]

to be fair, you do a lot of unnecessary zoom ins and outs and jump around a lot

[@linuxnext]

@fooboomoo welp again I don't see that as a issue, as all things goes, no matter what you do in anything there is always someone that wants to point out your flaws or problems when rlly it's there problem, not yours I watch these videos myself many times and same as my editor and we don't see the problem Constructive criticism is always welcome but this is something that is me and my editors decision no matter if someone doesn't like it, it's me and my editors video in the end not yours, if you don't like don't watch it

Explain?

@@linuxnext when you make decisions on personal preference that is the start of going woke

[@linuxnext]

@johnm.4141 and where is this happening in Linux exactly? Every single project is foss and that means it's a collective decision on what happens, there isn't 1 person that makes decisions, a great example is gnome, they take years to make decisions for new features or improvements because of many discussions from all types of different developers and same goes with the kernel or any other Linux specific project
