📰 Immutable Linux distros sound terrible on paper, but a month of Silverblue proved me wrong

I remember when I first learned about immutable distros. I'm a big fan of Fedora operating systems, and one day, I decided to check out all the spins you can download. One of them was Fedora Silverblue, the immutable GNOME version of the operating system. I had no idea what an immutable OS was, and the more I researched what they were, the more convinced I was that they were a flat downgrade to a mutable one.

A number of single-threaded bottlenecks were tracked down and fixed within the Linux kernel thanks to the assistance of AI. A second revision of those patches hit the mailing list this morning and there is hope they could be upstreamed for Linux 7.4...

📰 Removing Drivers For Outdated ARM Platforms Will Lighten The Kernel By ~247k Lines

The Linux kernel is going to see the removal of a number of recently deprecated ARM 32-bit platforms. Following the deprecation in Linux 7.3, removing the old ARM platforms will lighten the kernel by around 55k lines of code. But removing now unused drivers only relevant to those platforms will mean roughly a quarter million lines of code can be removed from the kernel source tree...
