Canonical has announced a new approach to kernels for Ubuntu dev releases. It will begin packaging 'interim' kernel releases to improve testing throughout the dev cycle.

(It makes more sense in the post, I promise).

Runtime PM For The V3D Raspberry Pi Driver Will Finally Lower The GPU Clock When Idle

While the Broadcom V3D driver has been part of the mainline kernel for supporting the graphics found on recent Raspberry Pi boards, currently it doesn't support run-time power management. The lack of runtime PM has meant the GPU clock remains at full-speed even while idle...

Linux 6.16 improves OpenVPN speeds, expands 5-level paging to all, and delivers a 'stupendous' Ext4 performance boost - plus, a fair bit more.

I'm quite excited about this:
Ext4 Performance Enhancements:
The Ext4 filesystem receives substantial performance improvements, particularly through better utilisation of large folios for regular files, enabling more efficient handling of larger block sizes.
5-level paging sounds pretty cool as well. The traditional four-level tops out at 256TB, the addition of five levels bumps it to 128PB
