Linux Weekly Releases (Week 14 – 4/4/2026)

Every week, new Linux versions that are under a supported version series get released to incorporate bug fixes and other general improvements that are pushed to the servicing branches. This ensures that your Linux user experience gets better when latest versions fix some of the bugs.

This week, the below Linux kernel versions are released:

Please note that the downloads are in the source code form, so this means that you may have to compile from source in order to use one of the Linux versions shown above. Your distribution might not include the above Linux versions.

A recent LKML patch used a tool called kconfirm to find Kconfig "dead code." The tool is so obscure that even Andrew Morton was puzzled, replying:

"OK, I give up. Where do I learn about kconfirm?"

It’s refreshing to see the person overseeing the kernel’s most critical code have a "no idea what this is" moment! Like Andrew, I’m dying to know—where DO we learn about this? Haha! 😂

An @lwn article on Sashiko captures a real tension - one side wants mandatory LLM patch review for linux-mm, the other says it's too noisy.

I pulled 466 findings from the public API to look at what's actually in those reviews. Duplication across reviews? Zero. Pre-existing bugs landing in your inbox? 1-in-5 chance, averaging 28% of the review text when it happens.

When a tool tells you about a bug you didn't write, who owns it now?

Wait, am I still on LKML? Due to all those emojis, it feels more like a WhatsApp chat. 😄

Whatever, for a reply to this great patch submission from @vbabka[1] it somehow fits – and made me slime. So thanks, @hyeyoo!

[1] to quote: ""It's a debugging feature [that is removed by this patch]. However, thanks to the advent of LLM-based reviews, we are not adding bugs to the #kernel anymore, so it's unnecessary now.""
