Linux Kernel 6.7 is finally released! Linus Torvalds announced<\/a> the release on Sunday night:<\/p>\n

So we had a little bit more going on last week compared to the holiday week before that, but certainly not enough to make me think we’d want
\nto delay this any further.<\/i><\/p>\n

End result: 6.7 is (in number of commits: over 17k non-merge commits, with 1k+ merges) one of the largest kernel releases we’ve ever had, but the extra rc8 week was purely due to timing with the holidays, not about any difficulties with the larger release.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The new Kernel release has many new and improved hardware support!<\/p>\n

For Intel, the Turbostat command utility now supports Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake (15th gen) processors; LPSS (Low-Power Sub-System) driver now support Lunar Lake M processors; The Meteor Lake (14th gen mobile processors) graphics support now considered stable.<\/p>\n

All the newest AMD Radeon RDNA2 and RDNA3 GPUs with Display Core Next 3.0 has Seamless Boot enabled.<\/p>\n

And, NVIDIA has GSP support in the open-source Nouveau driver for initial GeForce RTX 40 acceleration support and improved RTX 20\/30 series hardware support.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The release also improved RISC-V support with optimized TLB flushing and software shadow call stacks, added new Arm and RISC-V SoC support, and initial KVM support for LoongArch virtualization.<\/p>\n
