Linux 5.7 Kernel released for Ubuntu Linux. Here is how to install Linux 5.7 Kernel on Linux Ubuntu Systems. Linux 5.7 Kernel brings many changes and improvements, such as new apple driver, official intel gen12 graphics and many more.
Kernel 5.7 brings a new and improved exFAT file system implementation, improved perf cgroup profiling, as well as a thermal-aware scheduler to increase the overall performance.
The Kernel 5.7 also introduces ARM Kernel Pointer Authentication for the ARM64 (AArch64) architecture to protect the kernel against return-oriented programming attacks and a new LSM (Linux Security Module) for BPF (Berkeley Packet Filter) programs called bpf-lsm and write protection support for the userfaultfd(2) system call.
Kernel 5.7 release announcement says: “So we had a fairly calm last week, with nothing really screaming “let’s delay one more rc”. Knock wood – let’s hope we don’t have anything silly lurking this time, like the last-minute wifi regression we had in 5.6.. But embarrassing regressions last time notwithstanding, it all looks fine. And most of the discussion I’ve seen the last week or two has been about upcoming features, so the merge window is now open and I’ll start processing pull requests tomorrow as usual. But in the meantime, please give this a whirl. We’ve got a lot of changes in 5.7 as usual (all the stats look normal – but “normal” for us obviously pretty big and means “almost 14 thousand non-merge commits all over, from close to two thousand developers”), So the appended shortlogs only the small stuff that came in this last week since rc7. Go test.”
