The GNU Linux-libre project announced today the release and general availability of the GNU Linux-libre 6.11 kernel for those who seek 100% freedom for their GNU/Linux computers.
Based on the recently released Linux 6.11 kernel branch, the GNU Linux-libre 6.11 kernel debuts to purge the AMDGPU isp, tn40, rtl8192du, cs40l50, rt1320, and pcie-rcar-gen4 drivers, as well as new AArch64 (ARM64) devicetree files.
This release also continues the purification of the AMDGPU, Adreno, vgxy61, atomisp, btnxpuart, prueth, and tas2781 drivers, introduces a nowait-nowarn option for the firmware loading/rejecting primitives, and features the detection of firmware-loading primitives coded in Rust.
Besides, this version includes all the new features and enhancements, alongside the updated and newly introduced drivers from the Linux 6.11 kernel series, all deblobbed to ensure freedom from proprietary components, unlike the upstream kernel.
The GNU Linux-libre kernel caters specifically to those individuals seeking to create a fully free computer system devoid of proprietary software, appealing greatly to advocates of software freedom. If you belong to this group, you can immediately obtain the GNU Linux-libre 6.11 kernel in the form of compressed tarballs via the official website.
Packages suitable for Debian-based (DEB) and Red Hat-based (RPM) systems are also accessible. They can be downloaded from the Freesh project (DEB) and RPM Freedom (RPM) websites. The GNU Linux-libre kernel is versatile enough to be installed on almost any GNU/Linux distribution, either as an addition to or a replacement for the standard kernel of your distro.
