Few days ago, I updated the Fedora to version 42 on HP Compaq 6710b laptop.
Almost over four thousand Fedora packages have been instaled and reviewed ...

Fedora 33 : Test Days - test the kernel.
Test Days are often focused on testing Changes planned for an upcoming Fedora release, but they also regularly test important areas of the Fedora distribution, like upgrades, internationalization, graphical drivers, desktop environments, kernel updates, and others., see the Test Days webpage.
In today's tutorial I will show you how to test the kernel, see the kernel test week webpage.
Fedora contains the following kernel packages:
kernel — Contains the kernel for single, multicore and multiprocessor systems.
kernel-debug — Contains a kernel with numerous debugging options enabled for kernel diagnosis, at the expense of reduced performance.
kernel-devel — Contains the kernel headers and makefiles sufficient to build modules against the kernel package.
kernel-debug-devel — Contains the development version of the kernel with numerous debugging options enabled for kernel diagnosis, at the expense of reduced performance.
kernel-headers — Includes the C header files that specify the interface between the Linux kernel and user-space libraries and programs. The header files define structures and constants that are needed for building most standard programs.
linux-firmware — Contains all of the firmware files that are required by various devices to operate.
perf — This package contains supporting scripts and documentation for the perf tool shipped in each kernel image subpackage.
kernel-abi-whitelists — Contains information pertaining to the Fedora kernel ABI, including a lists of kernel symbols that are needed by external Linux kernel modules and a dnf plug-in to aid enforcement.
kernel-tools — Contains tools for manipulating the Linux kernel and supporting documentation.
You can see all events from Test Days on this webpage.
First, you need to install koji tool:
[root@desk mythcat]# dnf install koji.

Fedora 26 : using Huion Giano WH1409 graphic tablet .
If you want to use your Huion Giano WH1409 graphic tablet with Fedora 26 then you need to use DKMS kernel.
Let's start. First you need to have a github account to download this kernel.
Use this commands to install the DKMS kernel from digimend.
If you want to set your tablet keys then you make custom X11 rules .
First is need to go to this folder: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/.
Now create 50-huion.conf file and use the configuration tool xsetwacom.
I don't make this settings because the tablet work's good with inkscape software.

News: Linux kernel 4.12 released .
On 2 July, Linus Torvalds released the kernel 4.12, and it is available for download on kernel.org.
Linux 4.12 provides support for USB Type C in the form of a port management - that provides the correct power consumption.
Some significant changes are once again from the AMD-GPU driver.
About Data Integrity Protection, the device mapper driver receives an extension called dm_integrity to check the integrity of encrypted data on block devices and to protect it in the long term.

News: Linux kernel 4.9 LTS.
According to this email, the Linux kernel will come with the long-term supported kernel version.
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Might as well just mark it as such now, to head off the constant
questions. Yes, 4.9 is the next longterm supported kernel version.

News: the versions 3.13 and 3.14 of the kernel can be hijacking.
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel has the consequence that a remote attacker TCP hijacking.
According to this, the kernel can be hijacking.
This some numerical values of the kernel, like TCP sequence number, which an attacker can take over TCP connections easier.

Linus Torvalds - kernel 3.7 is now out.
From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds <at> linux-foundation.org>
Subject: Linux 3.7
Newsgroups: gmane.linux.kernel
Date: 2012-12-11 03:59:50 GMT (9 hours and 45 minutes ago)
Whee. After an extra rc release, 3.7 is now out. After a few more trials at fixing things, in the end we ended up reverting the kswapd changes that caused problems. And with the extra rc, I had decided to risk doing the buffer.c cleanups that would otherwise have just been marked for stable during the next merge window, and had enough time to fix a few problems that people found there too. There's also a fix for a SCSI driver bug that was exposed by the last-minute workqueue fixes in rc8. Other than that, there's a few networking fixes, and some trivial fixes for sparc and MIPS. Anyway, it's been a somewhat drawn out release despite the 3.7 merge window having otherwise appeared pretty straightforward, and none of the rc's were all that big either. But we're done, and this means that the merge window will close on Christmas eve. Or rather, I'll probably close it a couple of days early. For obvious reasons. It's the main commercial holiday of the year, after all. So aim for winter solstice, and no later. Deal? And even then, I might be deep into the glögg. Linus
