> but if you list the important advancements of humankind (like LLMs, drug development, basic science breakthroughs etc.) Amusingly, free and open source kernels (including bsds) are key to enabling all of that.
No, not at all. GPUs are the key to enabling all that. Kernels are just some glue running in there. Most of the NVIDIA goodness is actually in userspace. You could just as well say that electricity or HVAC is the key.
Good luck using your GPU without electricity.

#356.10 (TEN, the previous one) has been a very problematic release for me, with one desktop running into four major bugs in total: three separate amdgpu bugs resulting in video corruption, hangs and crashes, and now that I'm on 6.10.10 and those seem to be fixed, the system intermittently refuses to come up from sleep mode. Anyone else having similar experience? This is the first time something like that happened in a…
Is that just AMD? On my thinkpad X270 playing videos in Firefox is just a mess. All sorts of problems while Chromium is just fine. It's also fine on a copy of my system that I run on a thinkcentre tiny.
Check the Firefox video settings in about:config maybe?

#36Can't wait for Ubuntu to drop this into the Oracular beta for a couple of days and pretend like that was tested before release.

I got bit twice.
First there was the bug that broke Chromium based apps when using SELinux. https://lore.kernel.org/all/30fc5b38165e4eda57d640eca76b7df1...
Then 6.10.6 didn't want to boot.
Usually I run into issues two or three times a year. I guess this time around they just happened to be a little closer together.

Early 6.10 somehow broke bluetooth audio for me, only letting me use HSP.

Yeah, same problems with 6.10 and amdgpu. Radeon Pro WX 3200 fwiw. I've been on 6.8.9 for several weeks now. Just today I booted 6.10.7 and it's been stable so far. I haven't tried to put the system to sleep yet, though.
This isn't the first time I've had problems with the stable kernel, though. A while back I had problems, also graphics related, with Intel i915 (my onboard graphics that I used before I got the AMD card). It took a while but it eventually got fixed. I haven't looked to see if there's a bug tracked for the AMD problem.
