"It adds support for the modern AMDGPU driver for older AMD GCN 1.0 and 1.1 graphics cards, like Radeon HD 7000 series GPUs, along with Vulkan support through the RADV driver, and improved power management. Linux 6.19 also includes improved HDR support with the addition of the DRM Color Pipeline, an updated Asus Armoury driver, expanded support for newer Intel Wildcat Lake and Nova Lake chips, PCIe link encryption and device authentication, and more."
""As people have mostly figured out, I'm getting to the point where I'm being confused by large numbers (almost running out of fingers and toes again), so the next kernel is going to be called 7.0," writes Linus in the update note. The next update could include even more improvements for AMD GPUs, display support for Intel Nova Lake and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chips, and expanded sensor monitoring support for Asus motherboards, among other changes."
Linux 6.19 adds support for the modern AMDGPU driver on older AMD GCN 1.0 and 1.1 cards, including Radeon HD 7000 series GPUs, and provides Vulkan support through the RADV driver. The release improves power management and enhances HDR capabilities by adding the DRM Color Pipeline. The update includes an updated Asus Armoury driver, expanded support for Intel Wildcat Lake and Nova Lake chips, PCIe link encryption and device authentication, and other hardware improvements. The next kernel will be numbered 7.0. The subsequent kernel could add further AMD GPU improvements, display support for Intel Nova Lake and Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chips, and expanded sensor monitoring for Asus motherboards. Rolling-release distributions will receive the new kernel sooner than fixed-release distros.
