Among the items worth mentioning with this week's Linux 6.12-rc6 release include the additions of a ~2.6% performance optimization from Linus Torvalds himself , more Bcachefs fixes , and a variety of other bug/regression fixes.
Linux 6.12 stable will be out in 2~3 weeks depending upon how this cycle ultimately plays out.
See the Linux 6.12 feature overview for a look at all of the kernel changes coming in this release. Linux 6.12 is all the more exciting with it expected to be this year's Long Term Support (LTS) kernel version.
So far Linus Torvalds hasn't issued his customary release announcement for v6.12-rc6 to the mailing list, but will update when it's eventually posted.
