We have tested Red Hat 5.0.5 "Hurricane" with XFree86 on 86Box with Super Socket 7!

The recording from the recent #OSSNA 2026 keynote chat between Linus Torvalds (@torvalds) and Dirk Hohndel (@dirkhh) is now available:

If you want to know what you are about to watch or prefer a text summary, read this great article from @lwn that became freely available today:

https://lwn.net/Articles/1073761/ – Dirk and Linus discuss AI and #kernel development

#Linux #LinuxKernel #LinusTorvalds

""This patch introduces several modernizations […] Concurrency […] Memory Safety […] Sysctl API […] Error Handling […] Includes […] Code Style […] During the review and refactoring of this legacy driver, I used an AI assistant (Gemini) […]""

Hopefully AI assistants soon learn to tell users up-front that sending one huge #Linux #kernel refactoring patch doing several things at once is a total no-go instead of helping people to corner themselves, which is frustrating for everyone involved.

I wrote a new post:

Building a Tiny Linux App to Explain Desktop Stutter

It is not trying to replace serious Linux tools like perf, ftrace, bpftrace, or strace.

The goal is smaller: show how to build a real little Linux app in Rust by reading /proc and /sys, parsing Pressure Stall Information, and turning kernel signals into a TUI that explains desktop stutter.

Companion source code included.

Learn why Linux Kernel developers want to deprecate AF_ALG features, and the security concerns driving the decision.

At @embeddedrecipes 26 (Yocto track) I gave a talk about kernel config fragments.

The goal was to start a discussion around a question: what should be in config fragments, and what should not?

Interesting feedback from the audience: many use fragments, but most have stopped trying to upstream them. Yet several examples suggested that at least some of those fragments could be upstreamed.

I'll be following up by sending cleaned up fragment for our effort.
