The Linux Kernel version 6.8 just released #Linux @omgubuntu
After several solid months of development the Linux 6.8 kernel has been officially released.
This kernel is of particular note to Ubuntu users as it’s the version chosen to ship in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS – i.e., as the GA kernel and thereby supported for the duration of the release.
Announcing the release of Linux kernel 6.8 on the official Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) Linux founder Linus Torvalds says:
“This is not the historically big release that 6.7 was – we seem to be back to a fairly average release size for the last few year.”
Adding: “You can see it in the overall diffstats too – this looks like an average release in pretty much all respects, and we don’t have (for example) any obvious big new filesystems or architectures. I think the biggest single new thing in 6.8 is probably the new Xe drm driver, but honestly, the big bulk of changes are just various random updates and fixes all over.”
