With the latest kernel, Linux introduces native (or improved) support for certain hardware, such as the Logitech G11 keyboard, Presonus Studio 1810c, MOTU MicroBook IIc, Goodix GT917S and GT9147 touchscreens.Īs far as the sound subsystem, the new kernel includes some ALSA core, ASoC, HD-audio, and USB-audio updates. Although this feature existed in prior versions, it was hidden behind the kernel module flag. The new Linux 5.7 kernel now enabled Intel Tiger Lake (generation 12) support by default. It does this by directly handling events from virtual machines and sending signals to the init process.
The main purpose of this new feature is to reduce VM image complexity and decrease startup time.
Kernel 5.7 now comes with an ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) power button driver used for powering virtual machines. To do so, refer to How To Remove Old Kernels On Ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, & 19.04.
Note: You may want to remove old kernels to avoid an extensive list of bootable kernels on the GRUB (boot) menu.
