Linux 4.5 Adds Raspberry Pi 2 Support, AMD GPU Re-Clocking, Intel Kaby Lake (phoronix.com)

The Linux 4.5 merge window has been open for the last two weeks; that means that the 4.5-rc1 kernel is expected to emerge, with the official kernel following in about eight weeks. An anonymous reader writes with this top-level list of changes to look for, from Phoronix: Linux 4.5 is set to bring many new features across the kernel's 20 million line code-base. Among the new/improved features are Raspberry Pi 2 support, open-source Raspberry Pi 3D support, NVIDIA Tegra X1 / Jetson TX1 support, an open-source Vivante graphics driver, AMDGPU PowerPlay/re-clocking support, Intel Kaby Lake enablement, a Logitech racing wheel driver, improvements for handling suspended USB devices, new F2FS file-system features, and better Xbox One controller handling.

The solution is for all the systemd haters to band together into one distro and move on. I'm not a particular fan of the idea of systemd either but it's time to get over it.. To continue to fight something with that kind of momentum is ridiculous. It's as bad as expecting microsoft to go away and die.

So happy to see the Raspberry Pi 3D support. Thanks for the goodies!

Only retarded idiots were "fighting" MS while using Linux. Those who actually create (instead of bitch and moan on slashdot) were doing so because they wanted to improve Linux. Jokes aside, no one but whiny crybabies care about toppling MS.
