Linus has confirmed today that the newest release candidate resumed the trend of having more patches than normal, but he feels confident to continue development without delaying Linux 7.0&#8217;s release.<\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\">Related<\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tI installed NixOS on my daily driver, but I went back to Fedora in a week<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">It&#8217;s the most enjoyable, customizable nightmare I&#8217;ve ever had<\/p>\n<p>         &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/linus-torvalds-says-linux-7-0-calm-was-a-mirage-as-rc6-refuses-to-settle-down\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linus Torvalds says Linux 7.0&#8217;s calm was a mirage as rc6 refuses to settle down&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":229067,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static0.xdaimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/wm\/2026\/01\/linux-tmux.jpg?w=1600&h=900&fit=crop","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[97,71],"class_list":["post-229066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-fedora","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229066"}],"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=229066"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229066\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":229068,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229066\/revisions\/229068"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/229067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
