Thanks you for that series of videos! I particularly like your 6.10 and 6.11 part 1 videos because you explained all the abbreviation and kernel subsystems, so mere mortals (though still familiar with system programming a bit) people can understand the changes and kernel slang. In 6.11 part 2 it feels like you try to cover all the changes for the cost of explanation. It is still good video, but I would like to point that the value (for me) of your videos in exactly these explanations and not in the news itself. And relly looking forward for your next videos to know a bit more about kernel and modern system programming! Thank you!
Okay, It looks like lack of explanation and amount of abbreviations was related to VM section. Once video get to Memory section you are back on track with explanations! :)
You are right! I really tried to fit everything that happened on this release. Next time, I'll probably cut some of it out so we can get more explaining, which is really the best part of the videos (;
6:40 my guess is it was never an issue due to how crts worked. tho it did take a few decades for VRR to be a common feature. maybe more so for power efficiency
What is a navy gpu? Also funny how the iris xe driver is worse than the i915 driver, but they are making an xe2 driver before the previous one is even working well.
Oh, I can stop using my RX 580 after the next kernel patch? Yay! ... doesn't necessarily explain why I could replicate the problem in Windows too, but eh whatever.
@@Maple-Circuit I know right? Though to be fair the only GPUs I've ever had outright fail were nVidia ones... And I've been running ATi/AMD ever since.
Other than reading the kernel source code and hearing random people rephrase how the kernel work is there an "authoritative" source on what the kernel does and how? for example this is the first time i hear about "slab"
My biggest source outside of phoronix & LWN is the linux documentation kernel.org/doc/html/latest If you want to understand how something work, its gold. Slab is also the most complicated thing to research ever as it has 3 implementation with similar name, thank God they kill the other 2 in recent kernel...
