The stable release of the Linux 6.15 kernel has been officially unveiled, introducing a multitude of enhancements spanning hardware support, security, file systems, and the ongoing integration of the Rust programming language.
A central focus of this release is the continued stabilization of the Bcachefs file system, which is now nearing readiness for full deployment in production environments. The kernel also introduces new capabilities for working with Rust—support for additional components has been added, and the language is increasingly adopted within security-critical portions of the codebase.
Version 6.15 brings expanded support for AMD and Intel processors. Notably, improvements have been made to drivers for the latest chips, along with power management fixes for Intel’s Arrow Lake U and H platforms—especially relevant for laptops operating in s2idle mode.
A new subsystem component, FWCTL, has been introduced to manage firmware, streamlining interactions with microcode in embedded devices.
Development continues toward broader support for Apple Silicon—Apple’s ARM-based architecture is progressively receiving stable drivers and integration within the kernel. Concurrently, the task scheduler has been refined, promising enhanced system responsiveness under heavy workloads.
Numerous smaller improvements also feature in this release: expanded support for gaming controllers via the XPad driver, and the resolution of the final bugs that had previously impeded release.
The source code for Linux 6.15 is available for download at kernel.org. Linus Torvalds announced the release through the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML).
The next chapter begins with the opening of the merge window for Linux 6.16, where new features and changes will begin their path toward integration.
