Any #NixOS users building a custom #kernel?

The #Linux kernel is crazy huge, I would like to start tweaking my system by using a custom kernel

- longterm 6.12 as base (less hassle, more stable)
- intel only (no amd, nvidia, wifi card drivers etc)
- modern-ish hardware only (no obscure old keyboard drivers etc)
- O3 optimizations (I think they generally make sense on an i7-11th gen)

Do you got good resources to start with this?

I am specifically asking about the NixOS part.

@lps At this point I've hit a bit of a wall, since I neither own any Xbox controllers nor do I use Steam (I use a PS5 dualsense controller with GOG games via Heroic Launcher) and I'm also on a different OS than you (Debian). Perhaps you should make a new post to get some attention:

"Can anyone help? I'm trying to get my #nacon #xbox pro compact #controller working on #Linux - more specifically #ZorinOS. Not lighting up when plugged in, not working with #Steam games. I'm on #kernel version 6.8"

🐧 Linux 6.15-rc2 | Phoronix

"Among the fixes merged this week for Linux 6.15-rc2 include some Spectre RSB mitigation clean-ups for AMD/Intel processors and various graphics driver fixes including for a flickering issue on the Intel side while the AMDGPU driver squeezed in the device memory "DMEM" cgroups support. There was also a wide assortment of other random fixes throughout the codebase from the early Linux 6.15 kernel testing"

🐧 Linux Might Drop The Apple HFS / HFS+ File-System Kernel Driver Support - Phoronix

「 Apple no longer supports the Hierarchical File System on the latest versions of macOS itself and in prior releases was read-only support since macOS 10.6 for HFS itself. The newer HFS+ file-system does continue to be supported by Apple. Linux support for HFS has been poor and ill-maintained and it looks like the kernel drivers could be on their way out 」

www.phoronix.comLinux Might Drop The Apple HFS / HFS+ File-System Kernel Driver Support

Linux might no longer support HFS/HFS+

The antique filesystems, HFS and HFS+, were used in old Macs going back to Septmber 17th, 1985, with the former being used first, then the latter. They also have alternative names, called Mac OS Standard and Mac OS Extended.

During development of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard released in August 28th, 2009, Apple decided to stop all support for read-write HFS and HFS+ filesystems, making users be unable to write to any file, but they still could read from such volumes. In macOS Catalina, Apple finally removed the filesystem support from the Darwin kernel, making it impossible to use disks that are still formatted with such filesystems.

We appear to have reached the end of support for the two antique filesystems in Linux, too, because, this year, the prominent Linux developer from Microsoft stated that, via Mastodon:

Let’s try and remove #hfs and #hfsplus by the end of 2025. They have been orphaned since 2014 and are turning into a maintenance burden.

If you’re still using those filesystems after the support ending period, there is a chance that you could use those filesystems again via user-space filesystems, except that you won’t have the same experience, including the lack of support of writing to files for HFS+.

Habe soeben meinem guten alten #DELL #Latitude E6230 (Bj. 2012) wieder mal aktualisiert.
Ich habe schon seit Erscheinen #Sparky #Linux V8 (Debian Trixie, semirolling) ohne jegliche Probleme auf dem alten Hündchen laufen.
Okay, Prozessorgrafik, nur für Büro, Medien, Kommunikation und Shisen Sho in Gebrauch.
(freue mich schon auf die nächste #Debian #Beta)
Heute habe ich ihm auch den #Kernel 6.14.2 spendiert.
Läuft stabil.
Man gönnt sich ja sonst nix.

Linux 6.15 RC2 released!

Linux 6.15 RC2 has been released for developers and curious users to try out. All the interesting changes from performance improvements to bug fixes. Spectre RSB mitigation cleanups for AMD and Intel processors, various graphics driver fixes, and all other important fixes for different kernel components.

In the release announcement for this version of the kernel, Linus Torvalds said:

It's Sunday, just barely afternoon, and I've pushed out the rc2 tag.

Things look fairly normal. Yes, this was a larger-than-usual merge window, but at least for now rc2 looks pretty much in line with normal statistics both when it comes to number of commits and to the diffstat. Nothing particularly stands out to me, but it's early in the release yet, so let's see how it goes...

About a quarter of the patch is selftests updates, which is perhaps a bit unusual but at the same time certainly not alarming.

Other than that, it's all pretty evenly spread out: drivers (gpu is about half of that), arch updates, core kernel and networking,
filesystems, documentation. A little something for everybody, in other words.

Why not try out this awesome pre-release of Linux 6.15?
