Linux 6.15 RC1 released!
As we’ve predicted, Linux 6.15 RC1 has been released for developers and curious users to try out. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to more hardware support, such as MacBook Touch Bar support, exFAT file deletion performance improvements, and memory management improvements, have been landed to this version of Linux, alongside initial support for Copilot PCs, including the ASUS Zenbook A14.
In the release announcement for this version of the kernel, Linus Torvalds said:
It’s been two weeks, and the merge window is now over.
As expected, this was one of the bigger merge windows, almost certainly just because we had some pent-up development due to the previous releases being impacted by the holiday season.
That said, while it’s bigger than normal, it’s not some kind of record-breaking thing: we’ve had bigger releases, although not many. The really big releases tend to be due to some long-running major development being finally merged after many years, and this is not that: this is just the “regular” kind of big.
It’s big in both number of commits and in lines changed. The stats look fairly normal, with – once again – another AMD GPU register header file drop adding a ton of lines and standing out. But while that is a big chunk in itself, it doesn’t dominate the diff – there’s a lot of changes all over.
As always, below is the high-level “this is what I merged” view, which gives a flavor of what’s been going on, although it’s obviously colored by how certain subsystems send in their development in more digestible and separate chunks, while other subsystems are less granular. So while it gives some idea of what’s been going on, you’d need to look at the git tree to drill down into the particulars.
But at a high level it all looks very normal, with two thirds of the patch being driver updates, and the rest being a fairly random mix of the usual architecture updates, filesystems, core kernel (scheduling, timers, MM, networking), and misc infrastructucture (devicetree bindings, more rust infrastructure, zstd update, you name it).
Let’s hope that despite the fairly sizable drop of new code, this release ends up going as smoothly as the previous ones.
It’s indeed sizable as he put it, because there were lots of interesting changes being done to support more hardware while improving core parts of the kernel, especially when it comes to CPU scheduling and timers.
Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 6.15, which will be released in under 2 months?
Microsoft thinks you should recycle pcs that can't be upgraded to windows 11...
Please do not do this. Try linux or give them to someone else who will, or donate them to charitable organizations.
Goblins need spare computers everywhere!
#question
Can we have a #hashtag on here for people who wish to discard perfectly good computers, so other people on here who are less fortunate can get them and use linux or something?
Any opinioins on a best hashtag for that?
The question of whether Machines Can Think... is about as relevant as the question of whether Submarines Can Swim.

Ich beschäftige mich derzeit mit einem Buch über Computer, das die Anfänge der Computertechnologie in den 1950er Jahren beleuchtet. Besonders faszinierend ist, dass deutsche Wissenschaftler in Amerika entscheidende Durchbrüche erzielt haben, die die Entwicklung der Computer maßgeblich beeinflussten. Diese historischen Ereignisse zeigen, wie wichtig es ist, unsere eigene Geschichte zu kennen und zu verstehen. Nur wenn wir die Errungenschaften und Herausforderungen der Vergangenheit anerkennen, können wir die Gegenwart besser begreifen und die Zukunft aktiv gestalten. Es ist entscheidend, dass wir aus den Erfahrungen der Pioniere lernen, um innovative Lösungen für die heutigen Herausforderungen zu finden und die Technologie verantwortungsvoll zu nutzen.

LESETIPP: Warum sind alte Computer so faszinierend?
„Es war 1982 kurz vor Weihnachten. Die jugendliche Weltsicht bestand aus BMX-Bikes, Breakdance, E.T., STARWARS und natürlich einer Vielzahl an Homecomputern.“

Making progress on my TrueNAS build using an old HP Z420 Workstation... I fixed some things but still have a lot to do!
Here’s a specific question:
A friend has an autistic son about age 11. One of his special interests is building his own computers from parts. But he’s just hit the upper limit of what he can figure out on his own.
Where would you look for support? Ideally like a computer hobbyist / maker / nerd who could consult with this child and help him along? Like a build-your-own-PC tutor?
Back in the day there were “computer clubs” like the famous Homebrew Computer Club. I’m not even sure if groups like that exist anymore. 
Thank you!
Gibt es in Österreich (am besten Wien) irgendeinen Verein/eine Organisation, die noch was mit älteren Computern anfangen kann?
Bitte nicht "PCsFürAlle" sagen, die installieren weiterhin nur Windows, (hab nachgefragt), das ist sinnlos wegen Windows 11.
Falls wer was weiß, würde ich mich über Hinweise freuen!
I swore I'd never get another Samsung TV but they I had a good deal on this monster at the Ithaca Reuse Center so now I use it as my monitor to edit photos -- I regularly preview at a size bigger than the 13x19s I print, but softness that wouldn't show up normally stands out like a sore thumb

When we set up a new server for Hubzilla.org, we configured some new channels, including this one. Originally they were only available over Zot protocol, which meant that only Hubzilla and (streams) users could interact with these channels.Does anyone know about #SkikkComputers and/or #LaptopWithLinux @tuxedocomputers ?
Those are all EU #computer #laptop #brands, and I'd like to know more about them.

Have you ever notice how there's always more and more #computer in the #technouogy things surrounding us, but many of them utterly fail at being actually calculation machines? My favourite among all of these is when you want set your #dishwasher or #washingmachine to finish or start at a certain time. Some of the damn things even connect to the internet, but they can't figure out when to start if you want your washing to be done before 7 so you can put in the dryer before you leave for work 
Linux 6.15 Memory Management improvements
The upcoming version of Linux will incorporate many memory management improvements that will make your PC better than before. This pull request, which is already migrated to the main Linux 6.15 Git, incorporates many memory management changes that will achieve that goal of making your PC manage memory better than before. As this pull request mentions a possible Linux 6.15 RC1 release by just a title, we expect that this release candidate will be released on April 6th.
A new command-line options, hugetlb_alloc_threads, has been added to the Linux kernel that allows you to choose how many threads are in use, with the default being a reasonable 25% to make your computer boot up faster. This is when allocating a large number of huge pages, which will see around 2.75x to 4.3x speedup on Skylake and Cascade Lake systems.
Alongside with this change, there is another interesting patch series that revolved around making the huge pages allocator more reliable than before. It reduces fragmentation to allow larger requests to be met more quickly, while making the operation cheaper.
In the pull request linked above, you can find a list of patch series that are merged to the Linux 6.15 source code.
