Previously, we reported on how some     <span class=\"display-card-hyperlink-article\" data-id=\"1028897\">Linux 7.0 release candidates were seeing a larger number of changes and additions than usual<\/span>. Usually, more stuff getting added to an OS is better, but because the release candidate is all about testing and making sure things aren&#8217;t breaking, a high number of changes means that things are, unfortunately, breaking.    <\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the initial spike in fixes, while still high, has declined significantly for release candidate 5. Things are looking pretty great for a stable Linux 7.0 release, and that&#8217;s always a good sign.<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tLinux 7.0 is ready for you to test as it hits Release Candidate status<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">It&#8217;s big, but not BIG big.<\/p>\n<p>                       &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/phew-linus-torvalds-says-linux-70-is-finally-looking-normal-again\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linus Torvalds says Linux 7.0 is finally looking normal again https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/phew-linus-torvalds-says-linux-70-is-finally-looking-normal-again\/ Publish Date: 2026-03-22 21:34:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":226536,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.xdaimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2025\/11\/affinity-on-linux-laptop-1.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-226535","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226535"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226535"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226535\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":226537,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226535\/revisions\/226537"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
