The Linux 6.8 kernel now enables low-latency features by default.
I lived to see this day. 🤯
What exactly does this mean for everyday Linux usage?
That when there’s load on the system, fewer tasks will get slower, but also fewer things would complete overall in a given time frame. For example you should get fewer stutters in CS2 if a background task loads the system while you’re trying to nail someone with a scout. So long as CS2 has higher priority.
I always forget. Can we do a release upgrade to this or do we have to wait until 24.04.1?
Edit: Nvm. You can update today
sudo do-release-upgrade
🙂 I’ve seen several people, during some years now, recommended to wait for .1
You could even do it after the beta opened up. I tried on a fresh install of 22.04 and it broke.
You can force one with the -D (development branch) flag, but otherwise it doesn’t get pushed until 24.04.1.
-d is required if you’re on an lts until .1. If you’re on mantic you should be able to upgrade without it
Awwwwww yeah!
Noble Numnut would have been much better.
No thanks, I’ll wait for 26.10 (snappy snake).
Why?
Just a bad joke. 26.10 will be something with “s” and I put “snap” in it.
