Linus Torvalds has reverted the decision to enable DAMON by default in the Linux kernel. DAMON, a data access monitoring solution developed by Amazon, was set to be enabled by default in Linux 6.16. However, Torvalds emphasized that new features require strong justification for default enablement, aligning with his past stance on feature enablement. Thus, DAMON remains disabled by default in the latest Linux Git code. #LinuxKernel #TechNews #OpenSource https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-DAMON-By-Default-No

Ah, yes, a groundbreaking study on how much the Linux kernel swears like a sailor ⛵. Because, clearly, the most pressing issue in open-source software is how often it cusses, not trivial matters like security or stability 🤷. Don't forget to enable JavaScript to truly experience the glory of interactive #swearing charts 📉.

Linux 6.16 RC2 released!
Linux 6.16 RC2 is now live for developers and curious users to try out. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to bug fixes have been integrated to this release candidate. In addition to all the improvements and bug fixes, it also integrates the fixed code for the power management to prevent regressions on non-SMT systems.
In the release announcement for this version of the kernel, Linus Torvalds said:
Pretty quiet week, with a pretty small rc2 as a result. That's not uncommon, and things tend to pick up at rc3, but this is admittedly even smaller than usual.
It may be that people are taking a breather after a fairly sizable merge window, but it might also be seasonal, with Europe starting to see summer vacations... We'll see how this goes.
The diffstat looks somewhat unusual, with a lot of one-liners with both ARC and pincontrol having (presumably independently) ended up doing some unrelated trivial cleanups.
But even that is probably noticeable only because everything else is pretty small. That "everything else" is mostly network drivers (and bluetooth) and bcachefs, with some rust infrastructure and core networking changes thrown in.
And, as always, just random smaller stuff all over. Shortlog appended for people who like to see the details.
Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 6.16?
