Also, it now offers initial support for the Steam Deck’s controller interface and Steam Deck’s rumble motors (both wired and wireless adapters). Alongside these, this release includes several other new and updated drivers, making it worth trying if your hardware has issues with current kernels.

The latest kernel version offers various hardware-related improvements, such as better Thunderbolt support with the addition of DisplayPort bandwidth allocation mode support, improved support for the Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 (YT3-X90F) tablet, support for the 8BitDo Pro 2 wired controller, improved support for the Lenovo Yoga Book (X90F / X90L) 2-in-1 laptop, and eBPF support for HID devices. Linux 6.3 comes with new and updated drivers to support devices like Banana PI BPI-M2 Pro SBCs, Samsung Galaxy tab A (2015) tablets, Rockchip RV1126 SoC, Orange Pi R1 Plus, and Radxa Compute Module 3 IO single-board computers, Logitech G923 Xbox Edition steering wheel, EVision keyboards, and a new ath12k (mac80211) wireless driver for Qualcomm Wi-Fi 7 devices. Other changes related to filesystems include improved EXT4 direct I/O performance, low-latency decompression for EROFS, and a faster Brtfs file-system driver. For NFS filesystems, Linux 6.3 brings AES-SHA2-based encryption support on both the client and server sides. A new socket option is also introduced that simplifies the process of making outgoing connections through a NAT gateway for multiple hosts.įurthermore, this kernel release introduces additional tools, such as the virtconfig build target designed for AArch64 systems. For example, support for the PLCS (Physical Layer Collision Avoidance) Reconciliation sublayer, multiple new queuing disciplines, multi-path TCP mixed flows in both IPv4 and IPv6 and BIG TCP support for IPv4. Linux 6.3 also includes several noteworthy networking-related improvements. Additionally, this kernel introduces a brand new DRM accelerated driver for Intel VPU (Versatile Processing Unit), supporting VPU IP 2.7 integrated into 14th Generation Intel “Meteor Lake” client CPUs. One of the significant changes in Linux kernel 6.3 is the addition of AMD’s “automatic IBRS” feature, which helps to minimize the performance impact caused by measures taken to mitigate the risk of Spectre V2. This new version comes with a range of updates, including improved AMD support, Intel Meteor Lake enablement, Steam Deck Controller, networking improvements, and much more.
After the release of Linux Kernel 6.2 a few months ago, the latest stable version, Linux Kernel 6.3 has been released on April 23rd.
