Linus Torvalds in Conversation with Dirk Hohndel
summary
Linux ships on a nine‑week cadence with a recent 6.1 release and about 10–15k commits per release, most of them new or fixed hardware support since drivers >50% of the tree; ongoing work includes low‑level VFS and memory‑management changes and a long‑running realtime effort now landing after ~20 years of RT work. Rust support sparks heated architecture and tooling debates, with a maintainer resignation cited and visible merges happening even from a laptop during travel.
