If there’s one thing that’s been consistent about Linux, it’s that when there’s a new release of the kernel, it’s done without fanfare or fuss. The same is true about the version system used: We’re up to version 7.0 now, but that doesn’t mean it’s a whole new thing, just an update of the last release, with a whole bunch of improvements and additions.
I say ‘bunch’, but what I really mean is a very comprehensive collection of changes. Far too many for me to list here, in fact, but if you want a detailed insight into the more significant things, head over to Phoronix for the lowdown.
I’m unlikely to be one such person, partly because a raging masochist when it comes to technology, but it’s mostly because I clash hard against change (and yes, I bounced off Windows 11 like a pebble off a mountain). My age and brain wiring both conspire to make Linux something that I admire from a distance, all while I’m cursing Windows for hiding a basic option.
But don’t use me as a gauge for doing a Linux conversion. Countless PC enthusiasts and gamers have done it already, so give it a go. After all, when was the last time you heard someone proudly announce that they use Windows?
