Linux is suddenly 6% faster in one respect after a developer spent 5 minutes tinkering with it
With any luck, this work will be incorporated into Linux v6.9 and users will get the benefit (that version is expected to arrive as stable in the summer, though we have v6.8 which is close to release before that).
In other recent Linux news, the operating system is going from strength to strength in terms of market share of late. It's now on 3.82% of desktop PCs out there according to Statcounter's latest figures for December 2023.
