  "According to Linus Torvalds, Linux kernel 6.8 looks to be a small release that promises mostly updated drivers for graphics and networking, but also filesystem updates, mostly for bcachefs, XFS, Btrfs, and VFS, as well as architecture, tooling, mm, networking, core kernel, and documentation updates."

  Apparently 6.8 is primarily updates. Not sure why the autor didn't add any inforation on what he/she is looking forward too

  libstdc++ should be statically linked to all software using it.

  libgcc should be statically linked to all software, and the glibc modified to dynamically load a stripped-down (and renamed) shared libgcc for pthread_cancel support.
