Linus Torvalds announced on Sunday that the work on Linux 6.5 is now complete. The outspoken Finnish software engineer who brought the Free Open Source kernel to the world said that he did not find any valid excuse to delay the new release, which has been going smoothly because programmers were likely on their summer vacations.
Linux 6.5 arrives after seven weeks of testing on seven release candidate (RC) builds, bringing a short yet significant changelog with bugfixes and improved hardware support. The new kernel is better at managing the latest CPU architectures from Intel, with an improved load balancing on processors equipped with both performance and efficiency (low-energy) computing cores.
