SEE: Rust: What developers need to know about this programming language (free PDF) (TechRepublic) But it’s still a nice thing to see the cleanup.” To that, Torvalds said, “Of course, the fact that we removed all that legacy IDE code doesn’t mean that we had a reduction in lines over-all: a few tens of thousands of lines of legacy code is nowhere near enough to balance out the usual kernel growth. In an effort to continue the kernel code cleanup, Torvalds has indicated that legacy IDE device support will be removed. Let’s take a look at what’s possibly coming to the next Linux kernel. That doesn’t, however, mean the 5.14 kernel isn’t without its own exciting features. That the 5.14 kernel is a less-than-exciting release is mostly because it follows one of the biggest kernel releases in recent history (especially with the 5.13 kernel adding support for Apple M1 Arm-based CPUs). ![]() SEE: 5 Linux server distributions you should be using (TechRepublic Premium) In fact, Linus said of this release, “On the whole, I don’t think there are any huge surprises in here, and size-wise this seems to be a pretty regular release too.” Torvalds added, “Let’s hope that that translates to a nice and calm release cycle, but you never know.” According to Torvalds, this kernel will be a fairly standard release (especially compared to the 5.13 kernel). On the heels of the 5.13 kernel debut, Linus Torvalds (the creator of Linux) announced the first release candidate for the Linux 5.14 kernel.
