The new release of Fedora has more under the hood than you might know. It's a technology-packed release, and nearly all of it is coming to a distro near you. Plus the questions we think the University of Minnesota kernel ban raises, and more. Support Core Contributor Links: Thoughts on The University of Minnesota Kernel Ban Some 5.12 development statistics — By the time the 5.12 kernel was finally released, some 13,015 non-merge changesets had been pulled into the mainline repository for this development cycle. That makes 5.12 the slowest development cycle since 5.6, which was released at the end of March 2020. Still, there was plenty of work done for 5.12. Linux 5.12 Release Announcement As Linux 5.12 released, Linus Torvalds warns next version will probably be rather large — "'Despite the extra week, this was actually a fairly small release overall. Judging by Linux-next, 5.13 will be making up for it." Flatpak 1.11.1 Brings Changes For Steam, Better Support For Command Line Programs — One of the changes with Flatpak 1.11.1 worth mentioning is allowing sub-sandboxes to have a different /usr and/or /app. steam-runtime-tools: pressure-vessel — pressure-vessel is a bit like a simplified version of Flatpak for Steam games. While we worry about WSLg Amazon is Positioned to Kill Server Linux Humble Bundle is removing their pay sliders and replacing them with two preset pay splits. Looking forward to Fedora 34 — In 2021, complaints about PulseAudio are scarce indeed; the quirks have long since been ironed out and, for most people, sound just works. Obviously, it must be time to rip out the audio infrastructure and start over. That is what Fedora has done in the 34 release; PulseAudio is gone, replaced by PipeWire.
