Aptivi<p><strong>Linux 6.16 RC7&nbsp;released!</strong></p><p>Linux 6.16 RC7 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.</p><p>In addition to that, the release announcement has indirectly confirmed (with the statement of “we’re in good shape”) that the final release (July 28th) is the only release remaining for the development of the 6.16.x series before moving on to 6.17 RC1 (August 11th) two weeks later. Those are expected dates, though.</p><p>In the release announcement for this version of the kernel, <a href="https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wgdXcZfQEL2Xa+GEEtcC7Ez9SEWnGaB76R76VZsYcMOnA@mail.gmail.com/T/#u" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Linus Torvalds</a> said:</p><blockquote><pre>So last week started very quiet and that always makes me happy. Then on Thursday I started getting some updates, and I went "ok, so at least we have some networking fixes", but things otherwise still felt like this was going to be a tiny rc7.<br><br>And then Friday came along.<br><br>And the weekend.<br><br>And here we are, with a not inconsiderable rc7.<br><br>That said, the last few days I ended up getting a fair amount of pull requests, but pretty much all of them were tiny. A lot of single-fix pulls, and while rc7 isn't the tiny release it looked like mid-week, it's also not really any bigger than usual.<br><br>So there are fixes all over, they are all pretty small.<br><br>Nothing really stands out - the biggest patches in here are for some documentation and self-tests or tooling, not actual kernel code changes.<br><br>So unlike the week before, it all feels very trivial and I think we're in good shape.</pre></blockquote><p><strong>Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 6.16?</strong></p><p><span></span></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/computer/" target="_blank">#Computer</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/computers/" target="_blank">#Computers</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/kernel/" target="_blank">#Kernel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/laptop/" target="_blank">#Laptop</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/laptops/" target="_blank">#Laptops</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux/" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/linux-kernel/" target="_blank">#LinuxKernel</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/news/" target="_blank">#news</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/tech/" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/update/" target="_blank">#update</a></p>
