A big release, with a ton of new features. It’ll make its way to your distribution soon enough.
Great to see the LLVM/Clang improvements.
I am more looking forward to 6.14 as it will include big updates to bcachefs as well as the NTSYNC stuff for gaming. It will also have a small update to Intel Haswell graphics support which will benefit the machine I am typing on now.
