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.

Yes, you can say so. It is a kernel level setting for AMD CPU systems and will soon be enabled by default so users don't need to do amything to take its benefit.
It's likely to increase performance by running the CPU cooler when idle and better mapping thermal behavior to performace, so it's an improvement for things like the steam deck or gaming as well.
What kernel version will this make it into? This is great news for the upcoming AMD Framework laptop.
As stated in the article, it can be picked up in 6.5 if it is ready or later if there are changes needed.
Thanks!
Weird. When I clicked on the image on my desktop, all I got was a bigger image, not a link. 🤔
I own a Legion 5 (2020) with Ryzen 4800H. If i get Ubuntu installed again, how would the results be for me? Upcoming LTS version.
Afaik Ubuntu follows a different vereioning scheme for kernels, so I am not sure when you will get 6.5 or 6.6 patches.
Appreciate your response.
