Linux Kernel Switching To Linux v4.0, Coming With Many New Addons

Posted by timothy on from the year-of-the-hurr-durr dept.

An anonymous reader writes Following polling on Linus Torvald's Google+ page, he's decided to make the next kernel version Linux 4.0 rather than Linux 3.20. Linux 4.0 is going to bring many big improvements besides the version bump with there being live kernel patching, pNFS block server support, VirtIO 1.0, IBM z13 mainframe support, new ARM SoC support, and many new hardware drivers and general improvements. Linux 4.0 is codenamed "Hurr durr I'ma sheep."

    Yes, Linux is only on embedded devices. It's not running on my phone, laptop, desktop, and server at all.
