4 hours ago
- Linux 7.2-rc6 is a large release candidate with heavy bug fixes, including many from AI/LLM coding agents.
- The RC includes excessive sound fixes, heavy DRM graphics driver fixes, workarounds for buggy Western Digital SATA drives, and a fix for AMD Zen 5 CPUs misidentified as Zen 6.
- Linus Torvalds noted this is the biggest rc6 in years by commit count, with 60% drivers, 20% networking, and 20% rest, but no specific issues requiring a delay.
