As Linus Torvalds announced, the new kernel has been released and is available to everyone. This kernel is called Kernel 4.11. This version of the popular kernel not only brings bug fixes and problems encountered but also brings support for new devices and future hardware platforms.
Kernel 4.11 was released on April 30, as Linus Torvalds said, being available on its official website or in the repositories of various rolling release distributions.
The new kernel 4.11 brings support for Intel's new platform, the Intel Gemini, Intel's new processor platform. It also brings support for the new Intel Atom technology with 14 nanometers and for AMDGPU, AMD's opensource driver. Support for ssd disks has also been improved, with RAID disk performance being improved. In addition, support for new processors and hardware platforms has been included.
Kernel 4.11 incorporates AMDGPU drivers
The latest bugs that have been found in previous versions of the kernel have also been fixed, especially the bug that affected the Nvidia drivers, something that was annoying for many users who used such platforms. The theme of the swap memory management has also been worked in this version of the kernel, improving the management of it in the file system btrfs, Ext4, Xfs, etc ...
The kernel 4.11 can be found in the official website and download it for free to be able to install it on our computer. However, to do this you have to be very expert in Gnu / Linux and have the necessary packages to compile and create the adapted kernel. If we have a rolling release distribution, we may already have this kernel on our computer. In the case of not having a rolling release distribution, we have to wait for the distribution to incorporate it.
It will be that the audio already works in the cards YES ???
