Linux 6.15 RC6 released!

Linux 6.15 RC6 is now live for developers and curious users to try out. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to bug fixes have been integrated to this release candidate. These include architecture improvements (such as kvm and devicetree), filesystem fixes, and other general enhancements.

This is not the last release candidate, but the next one, which will be released on May 18th, will be the last one before the final release expected May 25th.

In the release announcement for this version of the kernel, Linus Torvalds said:

Another week, another rc.

Everything still looks fairly normal - we've got a bit more commits than we did in rc5, which isn't the trend I want to see as the release progresses, but the difference isn't all that big and it feels more like just the normal noise in timing fluctuation in pull requests of fixes than any real signal.

So I won't worry about it. We've got another two weeks to go in the normal release schedule, and it still feels like everything is on track.

The changes here are all the usual ones, with drivers accounting for about half (gpu and networking leading the charge as usual, but there's a healthy mix of other minor driver fixes too). The rest being a fairly even mixture of architecture fixes (kvm and devicetree stands out), filesystems (ocfs2, btrfs, bcachefs, smb, erofs), core networking, and various random other stuff.

Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 6.15?
