Linux 7.0 released

No updates available, Arch maintainers must be slackin’ again!

On a serious note: I like that they focus on stability.

Often Arch repo will skip .0 version of most of the packages Most maintainers wait till a .1 or more. Wasn’t it Linux 6.19 that they waited for .4 or something before releasing ? They did the same for mesa. We didn’t see any 26.0 only 26.1…

When it is time to hurry again?

I’m ready!

and the Linux 7 kernel is still not up :joy:

I’m still waiting for Linux 10 kernel! Why is it taking so long? :wink:

486 getting removed is bittersweet for me, - was my first hardcore home-built rig CPU, with the maths coprocessor.. :laughing: Gods.. was it really over thirty years ago..

Ain’t 486s had integrated coprocessors?
I owned an Enhanced Am486 DX4-120 and I had one integrated as long as I remember. Maybe flagships had it integrated…

Hurry up and wait!

Yeah, several release candidates focusing on bug fixes sounds great

DX had, SX didn’t. Same as the 386s.

Hah I was thinking of the 386SX I think..! The 486 was my upgrade for that maths coprocessor.. sobs quietly at the memories fading I vaguely remember playing the original X-Wing in DOS all through Christmas..

THIS is why I’m so glad Arch waits a bit before releasing a kernel. This is linux-cachyos 7.0.0-1.

It’s interesting that’s happened. I was of the (possibly mistaken) impression, that the major version numbers didn’t mean all that much with the Linux kernel, it was largely a feels thing.

Over time, I’ve noticed it’s this ‘gotta get it in for the .0 release’ that does make waiting just a bit wise :0

Lots new with 7.0…

7.0.0-1-cachyos works fine for me :winking_face_with_tongue:

Me too (Device-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Navi 33 [Radeon RX 7600/7600
XT/7600M XT/7600S/7700S / PRO W7600] driver: amdgpu v: kernel)

You’re running it in CachyOS. I have it on my EndeavourOS rig.

I have Nvidia. Are you running it in EOS?
