The initial nova-core driver stub was merged to #Linux mainline for #LinuxKernel 6.15[1].

#Nova is going to be a #kernel driver for #Nvidia's modern GPUs written in #Rustlang. It is the successor of the #Nouveau kernel driver and serve as base for drivers like #NVK.

The core driver stub is not really useful for anything yet. But that should change soon – and I guess will be the turning point that'll sell #Rust for Linux to the world. 🥳

#Linux 6.14 is out:

"'So it's early Monday morning […], and I'd love to have some good excuse for why I didn't do the 6.14 release yesterday on my regular Sunday afternoon release schedule.

I'd like to say that some important last-minute thing came up and delayed things.

But no. […] in the process just entirely forgot to actually ever cut the release. D'oh.

Judging by my pending pile of pull requests, 6.15 will be much busier.
