Linux-libre 6.0: The new version based on the new Kernel 6.0
Yesterday, we announced the What's new in the recent release of Kernel 6.0. And just as, when updating a GNU/Linux base or mother distribution, all its derivatives are updated; because the same thing happens with the development of the well-known Linux-free kernel. Which, now of course announces the launch of its version "Linux-libre 6.0".
Keep in mind, for those who don't know, that the native Linux kernel, is developed and distributed by Linus Torvalds. Furthermore, it contains Non-free software, in other words, proprietary/proprietary (Software that does not respect the essential freedoms established in the FOSS), and induces to install additional Non-free Software that does not initially contain. And this, consequently, has originated the existence of the project Linux-free kernel, which departs from all this rigorously.
And, before starting this post about the current release of "Linux-libre 6.0", we recommend exploring the following related contents, at the end of reading it:
