Linux Kernel 5.10 Will be the Next LTS Release and it has Some Exciting Improvements Lined Up
|
||
======
|
||
|
||
_**Development for Linux Kernel 5.10 is in progress. It’s been confirmed to be a long term support release and it will be bringing newer hardware support among other promised features.**_
|
||
|
||
### Linux Kernel 5.10 will be Long Term Support Release
|
||
|
||
**Greg Kroah-Hartman**, the key stable kernel maintainer, addressed an “Ask the Expert” session at Linux Foundation’s Open-Source Summit Europe and confirmed that Linux 5.10 will be the next LTS release.
|
||
|
||
Even though there were some early speculations of 5.9 being the LTS release, Greg clarified that the last kernel release of the year will always be an LTS release.
|
||
|
||
As of now, [Linux Kernel 5.4][1] series happens to be the latest LTS version out there which added a lot of improvements and hardware support. Also, considering the development progress with Linux [Kernel 5.8][2] being the biggest release so far and Linux 5.10’s first release candidate being close to it, there’s a lot of things going on under the hood.

Let’s take a look at some of the features and improvements that you can expect with Linux Kernel 5.10.
|
||
|
||
### Linux kernel 5.10 features

|
||
|
||
**Note:** _Linux Kernel 5.10 is still in early development. So, we will be updating the article regularly for the latest additions/feature updates._
|
||
|
||
#### AMD Zen 3 Processor Support
|
||
|
||
The new [Ryzen 5000][5] lineup is one of the biggest buzzes of 2020. So, with Linux Kernel 5.10 release candidate version, various additions are being made for Zen 3 processors.
|
||
|
||
#### Intel Rocket Lake Support
|
||
|
||
I do not hope for a lot with Intel’s Rocket Lake chipsets arriving Q1 next year (2021). But, considering that Intel’s constantly squeezing everything out of that 14 nm process, it is definitely a good thing to see work done for Intel Rocket Lake on Linux Kernel 5.10
|
||
|
||
#### Open Source Driver for Radeon RX 6000 series
|
||
|
||
Even though we’re covering this a day before the Big Navi reveal, the Radeon RX 6000 series is definitely going to be something impressive to compete with NVIDIA RTX 3000 series.
|
||
|
||
Of course, unless it suffers from the same issues the Vega series or the 5000 series met with.
|
||
|
||
It’s good to see work being already done for an open source driver to support the next-gen Radeon GPUs on Linux Kernel 5.10.
|
||
|
||
#### File System Optimizations and Storage Improvements
|
||
|
||
[Phoronix][6] reports on file-system optimizations and storage improvements with 5.10 as well. So, judging by that, we should see some performance improvements.
|
||
|
||
#### Other Improvements
|
||
|
||
Undoubtedly, you should expect a great deal of driver updates and hardware supports with the new kernel.
|
||
|
||
For now, the support for SoundBlaster AE-7, early support for NVIDIA Orin (AI processor), and Tiger Lake GPU improvements seem to be the key highlights.
|
||
|
||
A stable release for Linux Kernel 5.10 should be expected around the mid-December timeline. It will be supported for at least 2 years but you could end up with security/bug fix updates till 2026. So, we will have to stay tuned to the development for anything exciting on the next Linux Kernel 5.10 LTS release.

#### [Explained! Why Your Distribution Still Using an ‘Outdated’ Linux Kernel?][8]
|
||
|
||
A new stable kernel is released every 2-3 months yet your distribution might still be using an old, outdated Linux kernel. But you don’t need to worry and here’s why!
