As expected, the long-awaited ntsync has made its way into kernel 6.14.

ntsync "driver" to handle Windows locking types enabling Wine to work much better on many workloads (i.e. games). The driver framework was in 6.13, but now it's enabled and fully working properly. Should make many SteamOS users happy. Even comes with tests!

Milestone passed with the debut of Linux 6.14 rc1.

A set of patches being worked on by Oracle engineers allow for optionally sharing page table entries (PTEs) between processes. For some workloads this can equate to very significant memory savings.

The patches being worked on by Oracle engineers introduce a new in-memory file-system (MSHAREFS) and allow for optionally sharing page table entries between processes. With certain classes of workloads, this can mean very significant memory savings -- huge savings in fact as noted in the patch cover letter after Oracle realized this memory overhead in actual use on a database server.

Solus is an operating system that is designed for home computing. Every tweak enables us to deliver a cohesive computing experience.

Let's start with my mistakes:

• I haven't followed LKML.
• I assumed: Every ThinkPad has - overall - perfect Linux support, so this will as well.
• I did look up support when purchasing but I was still not verifying on the LKML.
• Edit: I trusted Qualcomm's marketing

So, I wanted a ARM-Linux laptop so bad. I heared about the Lenovo ThinkPad X13s in 2023 and I looked at marketing promises and (rare!) takes on it. Then there was the opportunity to buy this laptop fir a good price with the entire stats I would require for my next 10+ years. So I bought it.

In order to bake Linux on it I had to read up upon many things - I run it daily but have to accept some downsizes.

Anyhow, I thought this title would be interessting regarding Lenovo's and Qualcomm's "success" on ARM so that others may be aware that I am looking daily for the LKML and my model SC8280XP.

There is ONE SINGLE CONTRIBUTOR (there were two; The other joined Lenovo) allowed to have "elected and requested" documents in order to aid support. Despite their intentions (QUALCOMM) to support Linux. And I furthermore assume it hasn't have changed with the new Snapdragon X processors.

So, thanks to John Hovold and Linaro for doing an awesome job. I wish I could support you.

Good folks, my searchfu has failed me, ive tried different distros and no change, but want to keep debian for the htpc.

After the install, my graphics driver was not installed and i believe the wifi, not sure how to check how many didn't work. any assistance with getting this working would be appreciated.

use case is of course mini htpc for plex, docker, emulation etc.

Thanks for any advice in advance
