📰 Linux Patches Make The IPv6 Stack Less Modular To Lower Architectural Burden Currently the Linux IPv6 networking stack can be built into the Linux kernel, built as a loadable kernel module, or not built at all. With proposed patches from a SUSE engineer, the IPv6 networking stack would be limited to being a kernel built-in or not at all. In doing away with IPv6 as a loadable kernel module would allow simplifying some code and lowering the Linux networking maintenance burden... 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-IPv6-Built-In-Or-Nothing #kernel#linux

📰AMD Ryzen AI NPUs Are Finally Useful Under Linux For Running LLMs Over the past two years AMD has developed the AMDXDNA accelerator driver in the mainline Linux kernel for supporting the AMD Ryzen AI NPUs. But when it comes to user-space software on Linux actually able to leave the Ryzen AI NPUs it's been... extremely limited with nothing really useful besides some niche bits of code. Even AMD's own software like their GAIA on Linux has used Vulkan with their iGPUs rather than any NPU support. 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/AMD-Ryzen-AI-NPUs-Linux-LLMs #kernel#linux#amd

📰 Linux MAINTAINERS Cleaning For Recently Departed Intel Devs, Altera Drivers Oprhaned The layoffs and restructuring at Intel in 2025 caused unfortunate hits to their Linux/open-source engineering including various driver maintainers leaving and even their CPU temperature driver being orphaned for lack of maintainers. Sent out today were a number of additional updates to the MAINTAINERS file for the Linux kernel to reflect other Intel departures in recent months. 🔗 Source: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-MAINTAINERS-Intel-March #linux#opensource#intel#kernel
