Linux kernel releases have historically only been of interest for those daily-driving with Linux. With the popularity of the Steam Deck and SteamOS-based PCs though, kernel improvements are now far more enticing. Linux Kernel Version 7.0 is now set to release (H/T to Phoronix) with a host of performance improvements in tow.
Most of the fresh upticks pertain server-grade workloads, but a few have the potential to improve desktop responsiveness and gaming performance, though we'll have to wait until benchmarks arrive to be sure.
