Nge-16 ka-Epreli inguqulelo entsha yomgqatswa weLinux kernel yakhutshwa, ndithetha ngayo I-Linux 4.11 Khupha uMgqatswa 7 kwaye yabhengezwa nguLinus Benedict Torvalds, njengesiqhelo. Kwinguqulelo entsha yomgqatswa, ngakumbi le yesixhenxe, kukho utshintsho olubalulekileyo esiza kulususa apha ngezantsi. Ukuba uyafuna, unokuzikhuphela ngoku okanye ulinde ingxelo yokugqibela eza kuvela kungekudala kernel.org.
Njengoko umdali ephawule kakuhle, iLinux 4.11-rc7 inokuba luhlobo lokugqibela lomgqatswa ngaphambi kokukhutshwa ingxelo yokugqibela ukuba akukho zimanga zingalindelekanga ezifuna ukongezwa kwesi sigaba sophuhliso lwe-rc ngaphaya kwesiqhelo. Kodwa ukuba konke kuhamba njengoko bekucwangcisiwe, ukukhutshwa okulandelayo kuya kuba kukuGqibela. Inyani yile yokuba kule nguqulo khange kubekho zinguqu zininzi kakhulu, kuphela ezinye iziphelo kwiveki ezolileyo yophuhliso.
ILinus ikuxelile oku yehlisa umoya apho kuye kwakho utshintsho oluthile kwikhowudi, isibini kwisithathu sazo simiselwe abaqhubi be-kernel, kwaye zonke ezinye zisebenza kwezinye iindawo ezibhekisa kuhlaziyo lwezinto ezahlukeneyo zokuxhasa ubugcisa, iinethiwekhi, i-FS, njl. kwi-kernel engundoqo uqobo, enje ngezixhobo, njl. Ke asinakulindela utshintsho olukhulu kwesi sigaba sokugqibela ngaphambi kokukhupha ingxelo ezinzileyo.
Utshintsho lwenziwe ezahlukileyo, ukusukela kulungiso lwe-fbdev, ukuya kwi-btrfs, i-EFI, i-cpupower, abaqhubi be-DRM kunye nabanye kwimizobo, i-SCSI, umqhubi we-cpufreq, i-ACPI, izixhobo (turbostat, netfilter, ...), uphuculo kwinkxaso yoyilo olwahlukeneyo x86, ARM64, IA-64, PA-RISC, ...), Xen, irq, VFS, USB, orangeFS, CIFS, SATA, iqela, vFGPU, PA-RISC, iinethiwekhi, njl. Njengoko ubona kule ngxelo, ziyahluka kwaye zininzi, kodwa azinkulu kakhulu xa kuthelekiswa nezo zibandakanyiweyo kwiiveki zokuqala zophuhliso lweenguqulelo ezintsha nezinciphayo njengoko zifikelela kuhlobo lokugqibela.
