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.

'"Take a look at your process tree, it’s likely that you might notice a new service: rtkit-daemon, the RealtimeKit Daemon. It seems nobody on the internet is talking about it, so let’s explain what it’s about in this article."'
Worum es beim aktuellen Linux-Rust-Streit geht und was er für die Linux-Entwicklung bedeutet

Remember that there is no single or homogeneous "#Linux #kernel community".
It is an enormously huge, loosely coupled bunch of humans, each with their own goals, ideas, and expectations – often with employers behind them, which have their own goals, ideas, and expectations that influence those humans.

Linux kernel 6.14 has arrived with a plethora of performance-minded improvements in tow, including sizeable frame-rate boosts for many Windows games run on Linux https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/03/linux-kernel-6-14-released-delivers-big-boosts-to-linux-gaming

"'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.
