Kuhlakaniphile. Kwaphawulwa. Besikulindile, kodwa besingazi ukuthi kuzokwenzeka nini. Linux 5.15 yasungulwa ekuqaleni kukaNovemba, futhi ngokushesha bathi kuzoba inguqulo yalabo abasekelwa isikhathi eside. Kungenzeka ukuthi isinqumo senziwe sokuba nenguqulo ye-LTS ngo-2021, kodwa okubalulekile ukuthi izoba inguqulo esekelwe isikhathi eside kunokukhishwa okujwayelekile. Kodwa, kuze kube muva nje, okuwukuphela kolwazi ebesinalo ngakho kwakuyimibiko ethile.
Namuhla, ngoJanuwari 16, kukhishwe izibuyekezo ezimbili ze-Linux kernel. Inguqulo yamanje ezinzile yi-Linux 5.16.1, futhi abagcini be-kernel batusa ukwamukelwa ngobuningi ngemva kokubuyekezwa kwephuzu lokuqala. Cishe ngasikhathi sinye bakhiphe i-Linux 5.15.15, futhi njengoba ubona kusithombe-skrini esisekhanda noma ngokuya ku- kernel.org, "isikhathi eside" esifana ne-LTS sesivele sivela eduze kwayo (Ukuxhaswa Kwesikhathi Eside).
Ekuqaleni, i-Linux 5.15 izosekelwa kuze kube sekupheleni kuka-2023
Ezinsukwini ezimbili ezedlule sananela wamahemuhemu aseduze nezindaba eziqinisekisa ukuthi Ubuntu 22.04 uzosebenzisa i-Linux 5.15, ngoba inguqulo ye-LTS. Lapho siphinde sabika ukuthi le nguqulo ye-Linux kernel izosekelwa kuze kube ngu-Okthoba 2023, ngaphandle uma izinhlelo zishintsha futhi othile enquma ukuyigcina isikhathi eside njengoba kwenzeka ngo-5.10. Uma bengakweluleki ukwesekwa, i-Jammy Jellyfish izosala ne-kernel engasekelwe izinyanga ezingu-18 ngemva kokukhululwa kwayo. Kodwa ungethuki: ngokuzenzakalelayo, iCanonical ibuyekeza i-kernel yezinguqulo zayo ze-LTS ngaphandle uma izinguquko zenziwe umsebenzisi.
Phakathi kwezinto ezintsha ezethulwe yi-Linux 5.15 esinazo ukwesekwa komdabu kohlelo lwefayela le-NTFS noma ukusekelwa okuthuthukisiwe kwama-chips ahlukene noma ama-SoC, kufaka phakathi i-M1 ye-Apple. Nami ngiyazi yehlise ukwesekwa kokusebenzisa i-NTLM, ngakho-ke ngeke isakwazi ukusetshenziswa ku-hardware esasebenza nezinguqulo ezindala ze-Samba.
