A few hours ago, Linus Torvalds announced the release of version 5 of Linux. There are no incredible changes, just the time for 5 branches came as “the fingers and toes ran out” for numbering 4. Changes:
FreeSync support (AMD technology for controlling frame rates for more comfortable gaming).
Adiantum support. This encryption technology was recently introduced by Google for budget smartphones with limited performance.
BinderFS file system support for binder interprocess communication.
Improving power saving on devices using ARM big.LITTLE CPU.
GRO (Generic Receive Offload) support, literally translated as a universal method of unloading.
Initial support in the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2000 GPU Nouveau driver.
We will wait when the distributions appear on the new kernel! Link to the release of the commit Torvalds.
