How To Download And Install Linux Kernel 6.10

Linux Kernel 6.10 officially released. Here’s what’s new and how to download and install Linux Kernel 6.10 release.

Linus Torvalds announced the release of Linux Kernel 6.10. It includes several new features and improved hardware support for Linux Systems.

The official release announcement reads:

“So the final week was perhaps not quote as quiet as the preceding ones, which I don’t love – but it also wasn’t noisy enough to warrant an extra rc. And much of the noise this last week was bcachefs again (with netfs a close second), so it was all pretty compartmentalized. In fact, about a third of the patch for the last week was filesystem-related (there were also some btrfs latency fixes and other noise), which is unusual, but none of it looks particularly scary.

Another third was drivers, and the rest is “random”. Anyway, this obviously means that the merge window for 6.11 opens up tomorrow. Let’s see how that goes, with much of Europe probably making ready for summer vacation. And the shortlog below is – as always – just the last week, not some kind of “what happened this release”.“

Linux Kernel 6.10 release include a new mseal() system call for memory sealing to protect the mapping itself against modifications, Rust language support (has been updated to Rust 1.78.0) for the RISC-V architecture, kfuncs support to the PowerPC BPF JIT compiler, Zstandard compression support for the EROFS file system, support for the x32 subarchitecture, and initial support for TPM bus encryption.
