  • kernel-6?

    From Doug Laidlaw@2:250/1 to All on Fri Aug 26 18:45:27 2022
    I read a few days ago that Version 6 of the Linux kernel has been
    released. Will it appear in our updates soon?

    That depends on the Mageia packagers.
    i am at 5.19.4 as of last night.

    but they are still working on 6 as you can
    read about it at:<https://www.debugpoint.com/linux-kernel-6-0-rc1/>

    It has not been released yet.

    https://www.kernel.org/ shows 5.19.4 was released yesterday.
    For 6.0, it's still at the rc2 stage.

    Most likely 6.0 will be released as a backport for Mageia 8 rather then as an update as going from 5.15.? to 15.9.? or 6.0) drops support for some hardware.

    I would have to kill somebody :-)

    I keep expecting Foolishness, my ancient (2002) Dell Inspiron 5100 to
    fail to work with a kernel update, what with its 32-bit P4 and Radeon
    RV200 graphics. But so far, so good. It still works with the Mageia
    5.18.x kernel...

    Make that still works with kernel 5.19.4. I just checked it with the backported kernel.
