A new draft patch series for the Linux kernel has been submitted, which should hopefully bring up expanded support for the MSI Claw handheld.

With the Linux kernel 6.14 out now, I noted in my quick-look overview about a bug that was fixed for the Steam Deck OLED model. Collabora have given a little more info on their work for this issue and how it was a challenge.

Linux kernel 6.14 has arrived today, and a day later than it was expected. As usual there's lots new from supported hardware to various improvements.

Seems like the upcoming Linux kernel 6.14 release is going to be a nice one for gamers on Linux / Steam Deck, as the NTSYNC code has now been properly merged in ready.

One missed earlier this week while I was running around Wales, Linus Torvalds announced the release of Linux kernel 6.13.

After waiting quite a while on it and some rewrites, it looks like the NTSYNC driver code to help Windows games running on Linux will be pulled in and enabled in the Linux kernel.

Looks like we may see some improvements to the Lenovo Legion series of hardware like the Lenovo Legion Go handheld when running on Linux, thanks to a new Linux kernel patch that's been sent in.

Here it is, another big Linux kernel release is out now. Linux kernel 6.12 is an exciting one too with a big feature finally landing.

Linus Torvalds announced the final release of the Linux kernel 6.11, as usual with a ridiculous amount of improvements, fixes, support for new and future hardware releases and everything in between.

NVIDIA is currently investigating a bug where their drivers are crashing on modern kernels (6.10+). This appears to happen across drivers 550, 555 and even the latest 560.

If you were hoping to see better ASUS ROG Ally X support on Linux, you're in for a treat here, as there's a big patch that's been sent in.

Linus Torvalds announced the release of Linux kernel 6.10 and with it, plenty of new hardware support and improvements to existing hardware. You know the drill.

Time to get your popcorn out, as it seems NVIDIA are continuing their steps to further improve their Linux support on their GPUs.

Linux kernel 6.8 has been released now by Linus Torvalds and as usual, there's absolutely tons of changes and new features.

Starting with Linux kernel 6.7, users of the AMDGPU driver are not be able to set power limits below the recommended values advised by the AMD Engineering team on the hardware itself. The new low-power limits are intentionally enforced and set based on each card vBIOS specification.

Zeb Figura of CodeWeavers has proposed a Windows NT synchronization primitive driver to help performance of running games and applications designed for Windows on Linux with Wine / Proton.

Linus Torvalds announced the release of the Linux kernel 6.7 on Sunday, 7th January 2024 and as it turns out it's one of the largest releases ever.

Here's something that could be exciting but also could be a whole lot of nothing. So keep expectations firmly in check, but work submitted for Linux kernel 6.6 show something interesting from Valve. Potentially a Steam Deck refresh or their new VR headset perhaps?

Here it is, on August 27th the latest work by a great many developers was released with Linus Torvalds announcing the Linux kernel 6.5.

One security issue I somehow missed back in July was Zenbleed, an issue with AMD CPUs that's getting patched up in the Linux kernel and now the Steam Deck is getting a kernel fix for it too.
