Title: [NEWS] Linux 6.16
Post by: tle on July 27, 2025, 08:41:48 pm
It's finally out! A massive release IMHO. Lots of improvements for NVIDIA GPU driver. Unfortunately not much changes on the POWER side.

Ref: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.16-Released

My AMD Radeon RX6600 continues to work with this new version.

The point now is to understand when there will be stable support for the new rdna 4 instead, I would like to buy for example the radeon pro 9700 to upgrade my 5700 after a long time... We'll see what happens in the next few months...

I am more interested in discrete Intel GPUs even though I know Intel's been laying off teams working on Open Source softwares lately.

Sorry guys, I've noticed that since some kernel releases, there are compilation issues when building a custom kernel. Every time I try to do so, it stops at a certain point and gives me this error:
Makefile:2025: .] error 2
debian/rules:7: build-arch error2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2
makefile:1671: bindeb-pkg error 2
I've reported the most important things it says, but in any case, it still won't compile. I've tried both Debian and Ubuntu, which is a Debian derivative. I've even tried a server version of Debian 12, but nothing. There must be some file that needs to be modified with these new kernels that have changed something. Any idea what's going on?
