The Linux 7.0 milestone comes due to Linus Torvalds&#8217; preference of bumping the major version number after hitting X.19 as opposed to any single major change, but in any event there are a lot of great improvements and changes to find with this new kernel version. Linux 7.0 is also what&#8217;s powering the upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 LTS release.<\/p>\n<p>There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/review\/linux-7-features-changes\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">many Linux 7.0 features and changes<\/a> including more Intel Nova Lake enablement, more Intel Crescent Island accelerator bring-up, new AMD graphics IP blocks being enabled, self-healing capabilities for the XFS file-system, various performance optimizations, Intel TSX now defaults to auto mode, standardized generic I\/O error reporting for the Linux kernel at long last, and much more as we have covered in dozens of Phoronix articles in recent weeks.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>In the lead up to the Linux 7.0 release today were a number of last minute patches that did make me wonder if v7.0 stable would still happen today. Last minute changes included <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/Linux-Hardware-Errors-AMD-Zen-3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fixing some bogus hardware errors on AMD Zen 3 processors<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/Linux-OOB-Special-Certificate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">an out-of-bounds access in the X.509 certificate code<\/a> that could be triggered from unprivileged users and has existed in the mainline kernel the past three years. This week there were also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/ASUS-Armoury-More-Linux-7.0-HW\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">more ASUS device ID additions to the Armoury driver<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/Linux-7.0-New-AI-Agent-Keys\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">adding some new HID codes for new AI agent interaction keys<\/a> expected with upcoming laptops.&#13;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/1776052751_239_image.webp\" alt=\"Tux for Linux 7.0\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Linux 7.0 is now <a href=\"https:\/\/git.kernel.org\/pub\/scm\/linux\/kernel\/git\/torvalds\/linux.git\/commit\/?id=028ef9c96e96197026887c0f092424679298aae8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">available<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s on to the Linux 7.1 merge window that is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/news\/Linux-7.1-Features-Early-Look\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">sure to be exciting with many more features expected<\/a> as a beautiful, never-ending cycle of open-source development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As expected the stable Linux 7.0 kernel was just released today in marking this next kernel release.
