The Most Prominent Linux 5.9 Kernel Features From AMD RDNA 2 To Battling Nefarious Shims
The Linux 5.9 kernel could be released as soon as today but more than likely will be pushed back to next Sunday given Torvalds' comments last week and continuing to see plenty of merge requests in recent days.

Below is a look at what I would say are the nine most interesting changes for Linux 5.9 while also linked below is our complete Linux 5.9 feature overview for a more exhaustive list of the kernel changes for this autumn 2020 kernel.
