Linux 6.5 has many great features from the AMD P-State EPP driver default rather than ACPI CPUFreq for Zen 2 and newer supported AMD Ryzen systems, initial USB4 v2 enablement, initial MIDI 2.0 kernel driver work, more Intel hybrid CPU tuning, and a whole lot more.

Did they manage to fix whatever it is they did with the last few kernels that made the rembrant freezing problem worse, and caused amd gpus to not clock up when playing videogames and get horrible frames?

Edit: Doesnt look like it https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2657 https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2068

See the Linux 6.5 feature list to learn more about all of the great changes in this end of summer 2023 kernel debut.

With nothing overly scaring coming up, Linus decided to go ahead and release Linux 6.5 stable.

Now it's onward to the Linux 6.6 cycle with many features to look out for with what will be an autumn 2023 kernel release.

The timing now of the Linux 6.6 merge window for the next two weeks will mean that it runs through the US Labor Day holiday when a number of the kernel developers may be taking time off for holiday.
