Removal of the "gen*cide" function.
I don't know what is both funnier and more disturbing, removing the function, or censoring the word.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not good at reading these releases, is the armory support saying that the kernel will handle the rgb and fan headers that currently require a separate dkms module?
ASUS gaming handheld users will be glad to know (or not?) that the Armoury driver is now supported, bringing proper hardware control for ROG Ally gaming handhelds and other ASUS gaming hardware under Linux.
Virtual machines powered by AMD chips can now handle up to 4096 virtual CPUs with extended x2AVIC support. The previous limit was 512 vCPUs, so this is a substantial jump for enterprise-grade virtualization workloads.
