Linux 6.18 release – Main changes, Arm, RISC-V, and MIPS architectures

Linus Torvalds has just announced the release of Linux 6.18 on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML), which will likely become the next LTS kernel: So I'll have to admit that I'd have been happier with slightly less bugfixing noise in this last week of the release, but while there's a few more fixes than I would hope for, there was nothing that made me feel like this needs more time to cook. So 6.18 is tagged and pushed out. Most of the last-minute fixes are minor fixes to drivers, with some random noise elsewhere (bluetooth, ceph, afs..). Nothing strikes me as standing out, but hey, there's a shortlog appended if you want to see the details. And this obviously means that the merge window will open tomorrow, and I already have three dozen pull requests pending. Thanks. And as I already mentioned a couple of weeks ago in one

Why are they creating the requirement for 8GB of storage for absolutely no reason, other than including a way too large EMPTY userdata partition in their #Linux image?

Now i need to loop-mount, resize, truncate, and fondle the image - i'm a cheap tightarse, who bought the #NanoPi Neo Core #SBC variant with only 4GB EMMC.

@mxmehl There are more than enough "alternatives" from vendors such as @olimex, @PINE64 or #friendlyarm.

I have put the word "alternatives" in quotes because, personally, I would never seriously consider consider running a server on a RaspberryPi due to the mentioned firmware situation.

Maybe you need a tiny #SBC #Linux board. This one from #FriendlyARM has tons of features. Might even be overkill. Can find cheaper ones out there as well.
