Linux 6.15 has arrived! And we take a deep dive into whats new with the first production-ready Rust driver and deeper Rust hooks, the new fwctl subsystem for uniform firmware updates, cleaner container mounts and ID-mapping, faster exFAT and overall I/O, plus expanded hardware support covering latest AMD and Intel CPUs, Apple Touch Bar, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X-class laptops. Performance tooling also scores a latency-profiling mode in perf and zero-copy networking via io_uring, making 6.15 a notably forward-leaning kernel for desktop users, sysadmins, and hackers alike.
