AI tools can help Linux maintainers, but they can also cause chaos. Here's what needs to be addressed - fast - before things get out of control.

The relative risk of programming in the kernel also tends to be an advantage for the privacy-minded.

Programming languages: Now Rust project looks for a way into the Linux kernel The Rust programming language gets a nod of approval from Linux creator Linus Torvalds.

SPIR-V 1.1 now supports all the kernel language features of OpenCL C++ in OpenCL 2.2, including initializer and finalizer function execution modes to support constructors and destructors.

The memory safe programming language will join C and the other traditional languages developers use to create new pieces and drivers of the ubiquitous open source kernel.
