  • Barry Kauler ☛ Kernel 6.6.52 compiled

    EasyOS 6.3.1 has the 6.6.47 kernel, compile was reported here:

    It was reported recently, a fix given by forum member dimkr, for the mouse synaptic driver on a Chromebook:

    https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=131683#p131683

    I have compiled the 6.6.52 kernel with that fix. Chose both of these as modules:

    CONFIG_CROS_EC=m
    CONFIG_CROS_EC_LPC=m
    

    It is intended that this kernel will be in the next release of both EasyOS and QV.   
    

  • Bootlin ☛ Linux 6.11 released, Bootlin contributions inside

    Linux 6.11 has been released a week ago, the day before Open Source Summit Europe started, but as a large part of the Bootlin team was attending this conference and the immediately following GNU/Linux Plumbers conference, we are only posting now our usual blog post about our GNU/Linux 6.11 contributions.

    I <3 Open Source

    That should be obvious by now, right? I’ve been out here blogging about Open Source stuff for over a decade, and occasionally I still have time to actually write code.

    Haha. But seriously.

    I believe in Open Source. I believe in the collaborative development model, the teamwork, the shared vision of contributing to projects that can stand up to and even surpass big-name proprietary products.

    I believe in getting shit done. I believe in discussion, in deliberation, in review, but at the end of the day I also believe that people need to be realistic and accept compromises rather than dying on every fucking hill of a gitlab review comment. I believe in it enough that I’m sleeping five or fewer hours a night this week.
