Linux 6.15 RC1 released!
As we’ve predicted, Linux 6.15 RC1 has been released for developers and curious users to try out. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to more hardware support, such as MacBook Touch Bar support, exFAT file deletion performance improvements, and memory management improvements, have been landed to this version of Linux, alongside initial support for Copilot PCs, including the ASUS Zenbook A14.
In the release announcement for this version of the kernel, Linus Torvalds said:
It’s been two weeks, and the merge window is now over.
As expected, this was one of the bigger merge windows, almost certainly just because we had some pent-up development due to the previous releases being impacted by the holiday season.
That said, while it’s bigger than normal, it’s not some kind of record-breaking thing: we’ve had bigger releases, although not many. The really big releases tend to be due to some long-running major development being finally merged after many years, and this is not that: this is just the “regular” kind of big.
It’s big in both number of commits and in lines changed. The stats look fairly normal, with – once again – another AMD GPU register header file drop adding a ton of lines and standing out. But while that is a big chunk in itself, it doesn’t dominate the diff – there’s a lot of changes all over.
As always, below is the high-level “this is what I merged” view, which gives a flavor of what’s been going on, although it’s obviously colored by how certain subsystems send in their development in more digestible and separate chunks, while other subsystems are less granular. So while it gives some idea of what’s been going on, you’d need to look at the git tree to drill down into the particulars.
But at a high level it all looks very normal, with two thirds of the patch being driver updates, and the rest being a fairly random mix of the usual architecture updates, filesystems, core kernel (scheduling, timers, MM, networking), and misc infrastructucture (devicetree bindings, more rust infrastructure, zstd update, you name it).
Let’s hope that despite the fairly sizable drop of new code, this release ends up going as smoothly as the previous ones.
It’s indeed sizable as he put it, because there were lots of interesting changes being done to support more hardware while improving core parts of the kernel, especially when it comes to CPU scheduling and timers.
Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 6.15, which will be released in under 2 months?

Linux 6.15 will support Apple Z2 Touch Bar
Linux 6.15 is growing up with more and more improvements and support for more devices, including Apple MacBook laptops with the Z2 Touch Bar. This is for the Apple Silicon devices that rely on the Z2 protocol to make the Touch Bar work on macOS, but Linux 6.15 will have support for the Touch Bar in such devices.
The apple_z2 driver was merged to the kernel prior to the first release candidate. This driver enables Linux to utilize the Apple Touch Bar in MacBooks that use the Silicon hardware using the Z2 protocol. It was developed by the Asahi Linux developers as they’re enhancing the experience of Linux desktop in such devices.
When this Linux version gets released to the public, which should happen after several release candidates, users with MacBook laptops with the Touch Bar will be able to use it in Linux distributions.
As an aside, we expect that Linux 6.15 RC1 will be out today, provided that everything goes fine during development. This is so that curious people and advanced users will be able to test this version of Linux.

Samsung Canada reveals One UI 7 release date for S24 and Fold/Flip6
Telus has updated their software update schedule in their official forums to reflect latest information that they have just obtained directly from Samsung Canada. They have warned that “all dates are approximate and subject to change” when releasing schedules aimed at the future.
This piece of information, however, is very interesting as Samsung Canada has confirmed that they’d be releasing the official One UI 7 update to the following devices in April 11th:
- Galaxy S24 series
- Galaxy Z Fold6
- Galaxy Z Flip6
This almost aligns with the official Samsung Newsroom announcement for Canadian users except that there is a one-day delay when it comes to release dates.
Are you excited for One UI 7?
Making Projects Better
Making our projects better than before is one of our most important things that we have planned to do. We have improved the build system across all projects by introducing the tools repository on GitHub that is used as a submodule. Our strategy for this plan is to make sure that all our projects get the highest quality possible, while aiming for more.
Announcements for new release of our flagship projects will be made every major version or a version that is worth talking about. Not only updates will be done, but projects that are new to the programming industry will be made to allow developers to have more options according to the program.
Recently, we have started improving the documentation of the Terminaux project for the upcoming release. We have currently restructured the cyclic writer documentation so that a single page is split to multiple pages by category. This helps find information more quickly.
In the second half of the year, we are planning to introduce changes to our work plans so that we’d be more open. Confirmed additions, improvements, and other updates will be added to every repository’s GitHub Projects, straight from the internal information. This is to let the users know of the roadmap of all our projects in a more transparent manner.
After the release of the upcoming Nitrocid version series, we’ll make sure that other projects get their own development time as we are striving to improve them with new features and other general improvements. Because the upcoming version of Nitrocid is currently in a stage where it needs to be adjusted for the next Terminaux version, a beta program will be introduced. This is to gain feedback from developers and users, and we listen to all feedback!
Making sure that we fulfill our promises to you, we’ll keep you informed of any new updates regarding our projects. Meanwhile, normal development for all projects will start on April 6th, and we hope that we introduce you to new, exciting features. Are you ready for the most exciting moments?
