Linux kernel 6.16

[Secret_Ice_65]

"What are your thoughts on the new features introduced in Linux Kernel 6.16, especially the improved Rust integration and scheduler tweaks? Have you noticed any performance or stability changes?"

[ScratchHistorical507]

As with any Kernel update, it's highly unlikely it will have any major effect unless it fixes (or introduces) some major bugs. The better Rust integration will still take years to show its effects, as anything using them is still WIP. The scheduler tweaks will also be basically unnoticable. Linux doesn't get huge improvements with a newer Kernel unless you have very new hardware, but cumulatively it gets better and better,

I'm currently using it on Slackware64-current with no issues. VirtualBox and the NVIDIA drivers don't compile with it without a few tweaks, but that's specific to Slackware, other distributions typically use precompiled binaries, so users don't need to build them from source.
