Linus Torvalds has released the 6.17 kernel. He notes that the shortlog for the changes since -rc7 are pretty tame: It's not exciting, which is all good. I think the biggest patch in there is some locking fixes for some bluetooth races that could cause use-after-free situations. Whee - that's about as exciting as it gets.

Other than that, there' the usual driver fixlets (GPU and networking dominate as usual, but "dominate" is still pretty small), there's some minor random other driver updates, some filesystem noise, and core kernel and mm.

And some selftest updates.

Significant features in this release include better control over x86 Spectre mitigations, live patching support on 64-bit Arm platforms, a number of pidfd improvements, the removal of special support for uniprocessor systems, initial support for proxy execution, experimental large-folio support in the Btrfs filesystem, the file_getattr() and file_setattr() system calls, and support for the DualPI2 congestion-control protocol.

See the LWN merge-window summaries (part 1, part 2) for more information. In addition, KernelNewbies has a look at the changes that went into 6.17.

MagOS Linux is a Russian desktop-oriented distribution based on ROSA, a distribution that was forked from Mandriva Linux in 2011. It uses the RPM package management. MagOS Linux comes with KDE Plasma desktop by default, but it also ships the lightweight LXQt desktop for older and low-specification computers.

BSD Router Project (BSDRP) is an embedded free and open-source router distribution based on FreeBSD with Quagga (a software routing suite) and BIRD (an open-source implementation for routing Internet Protocol packets).

Additional functionality can be added to the operating system via FreeBSD's ports collection.

FreeBSD is used by companies, Internet Service Providers, researchers, computer professionals, students and home users all over the world in their work, education and recreation. FreeBSD comes with over 20,000 packages (pre-compiled software that is bundled for easy installation), covering a wide range of areas: from server software, databases and web servers, to desktop software, games, web browsers and business software - all free and easy to install.
