Linux 6.15 kernel ships with Rust driver, boosts performance

The Linux 6.15 kernel has been released, notably including its first Rust-based driver, a significant win for Rust developers and open-source graphics. This driver supports Nvidia's next-generation open-source graphics hardware. The new kernel also features performance improvements, especially for file operations, with exFAT seeing substantial speed gains. Additionally, the kernel drops support for x86 CPUs predating the Intel Pentium. This release, with over 14,000 changes, marks a busy period for Linux developers and includes updates for various hardware and file systems. The kernel's development continues despite the Memorial Day holiday.
