As expected the stable Linux 7.0 kernel was just released today in marking this next kernel release. The Linux 7.0 milestone comes due to Linus Torvalds' preference of bumping the major version number after hitting X.19 as opposed to any single major change, but in any event there are a lot of great improvements and changes to find with this new kernel version. Linux 7.0 is also what's powering the upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release.

There are many Linux 7.0 features and changes including more Intel Nova Lake enablement, more Intel Crescent Island accelerator bring-up, new AMD graphics IP blocks being enabled, self-healing capabilities for the XFS file-system, various performance optimizations, Intel TSX now defaults to auto mode, standardized generic I/O error reporting for the Linux kernel at long last, and much more as we have covered in dozens of Phoronix articles in recent weeks.

I'm most excited for the explicit congestion notification and lazy preemption by default. Really bleeding edge kernel features.
