Do new patches that are incorporated in the "stable tree" of older kernel versions make it back into the distros?
  • The TongFang GMxXGxx needs IRQ overriding for the keyboard to work, is also sold as the Eluktronics RP-15 (TongFang GMxXGxx DMI board_name).

    commit df0cced74159c79e36ce7971f0bf250673296d93 upstream

    I am not using any distro right now because of the keyboard issue, and I do not feel comfortable patching it by myself.

    I am actually trying to figure out which distro to try out now that the patch has been incorporated.

  • Do new patches that are incorporated in the "stable tree" of older kernel versions make it back into the distros?

    Hi! This is a bit of a newbie question, so please bear with me.

    I purchased a laptop that has a specific hardware issue under Linux (the keyboard does not function). A patch fixing the issue was approved for 6.8 and incorporated in the "stable tree" of older kernels: 5.4, 5.10, 5.15, 6.6, 6.7, etc.

    My question is: Do distros ship with an updated kernel that incorporates all the patches? Or does the user need to update after installation for the patches to be applied? I imagine that it may perhaps vary from distro to distro, but I honestly don't know.

    The question is relevant for me because, potentially, I would have to install the actual distro and update, rather than just try out a live version.

    Opinion: The Copyright Office is making a mistake on AI-generated art
  • I do not think that you can shoehorn existing copyright laws to AI-generated art. It's not an apples to apples issue.

    While there might be certain creativity and effort that is worth protecting in some gen-AI art cases, it does not require the same kind of skill, materials, time, effort, cost, and dedication that copyrights were envisioned to protect with more traditional works.
