Linux Kernel 6.14 Officially Released

prisoninmate shares a report: Highlights of Linux 6.14 include Btrfs RAID1 read balancing support, a new ntsync subsystem for Win NT synchronization primitives to boost game emulation with Wine, uncached buffered I/O support, and a new accelerator driver for the AMD XDNA Ryzen AI NPUs (Neural Processing Units).

Also new is DRM panic support for the AMDGPU driver, reflink and reverse-mapping support for the XFS real-time device, Intel Clearwater Forest server support, support for SELinux extended permissions, FUSE support for io_uring, a new fsnotify file pre-access event type, and a new cgroup controller for device memory.

DRM panic support

Let's all panic at the mention of "DRM" in connection with the Linux kernel!

Or how Linus has turned evil by including code that would force us all to use Windows NT. Bow down to our new, overlords! :P

Bow down to our new, overlords! :P

Q1: Bow to our new what?

Q2: What happens if I don't self-identify as an overlord?

Ha, with all of Microsoft's contributions to the Linux kernel via their Azure and WSL efforts, you'd hope they were re-basing Windows 12 on top of a Linux kernel!

Wait until all the ACs complain about Acronym Collision.

And who had the bright idea to name something KVM?

Years ago this was the staple of /.

Years ago this was the an important staple of /. news, now it gets 5 irrelevant replies...

Darn, too late.

I had to replace my daily laptop for another (used) one, and found out none of the choices I had supported two drives. I've used BTRFS RAID1 on dual HHDs and SDDs (with a caddy for the CD unit) until this laptop, so now I can't see what difference read balancing would make.
Guess I'll have to wait until next time I need to replace hardware and hope there will be dual disk laptops available by then.
