Ngemuva kweLinux 5.15 ezinzile, manje sebegxile enguqulweni yesikhathi esizayo engafika njengesipho sikaKhisimusi. I I-Linux kernel 5.16 Kuzoba yisinyathelo esihle esiya phambili, futhi kuzofika kugcwele ukuthuthukiswa kanye nezindaba. Enye yalezo zinguqulo ezikhethekile ezinganikeza okuningi ukukhuluma ngazo. Lapha ungabona konke lokho kuthuthukiswa:
- Izithuthukisi ze-syscall ye-Linux ukusiza abadlali bamageyimu baqhube imidlalo ye-Windows ku-Linux nge-WINE noma i-Proton.
- I-DisplayPort 2.0 yomshayeli we-AMDGPU.
- I-PSR ye-AMDGPU (I-Panel Self Refresh) izonikwa amandla ngokuzenzakalela.
- Ukusekelwa kwe-Cyan Skillfish kwe-AMD Navi 1x APU.
- I-AMDGPU USB4 DisplayPort tunneling yengeziwe.
- Ukusekelwa kwe-NVDEC kwe-NVIDIA Tegra.
- Ukusekela ukubethela kwe-Intel PXP.
- Ikhodi ye-Intel Alder Lake S ehlanganisiwe ye-GPU nezinye izithuthukisi kuzo.
- Ukuthuthukiswa futhi kwe-Steam Deck.
- Isilawuli esandisiwe se-VirtIO GPU.
- Ukulungiselela ama-notebook esikhathi esizayo ane-NVIDIA EC-driver.
- Ukulungiselelwa kwe-I/O kwe-Linux 5.16.
- Ukwethulwa kwe-Realtek RTX89 802.11ax (WiFi 6) Isilawuli se-WiFi.
- Ukutholwa kweprosesa ye-Vortex86.
- Usekelo lwekhibhodi entsha ye-Apple Magic yango-2021.
- I-PCIe Driver ye-Apple Silicon (M1).
- I-DMA-BUF isekela kontanga yomshayeli we-AI we-Habana Labs.
- Ukuthuthukiswa kwe-Firmware nokushajwa kwebhethri kumalaptop e-System76.
- Ukusekelwa okungcono kwamakhompyutha aphathekayo e-HP OMEN.
- Ukuthuthukiswa kokusekelwa kwezinzwa zamabhodi omama we-ASUS.
- I-Linux 5.16 izophinde ilethe ukuthuthuka kokubambezeleka komsindo we-USB.
- I-RISC-V hypervisor isekelwa i-KVM.
- I-AMD Linux Audio Dirvers.
- Ibhithi le-AMD PSF likhutshaziwe kubavakashi be-KVM.
- Buyekeza ukuze uthuthukise ukusebenza nge-MGLRU (Multigenerational LRU), ehlobene nokuphathwa kwamakhasi enkumbulo.
- Ukuzuzwa kokusebenza nakho ngenxa ye-Zstd tweaks (ukucindezela okungenakulahlekelwa)
- Ukuthuthukiswa kwekhodi ye-Retpoline (i-trampoline yokubuyisela).
- Ku-Linux 5.16 sizobona nokulungiselela kusenesikhathi kosekelo lwe-FGKASLR, okuzothuthukisa ukuphepha kwe-kernel.
