Omarchy makes linux-omarchy the default kernel and folds headers into the base system

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Linux · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Omarchy migrates every non-T2 x86_64 install onto its own kernel while pulling header management out of the hardware installers, and the mainline tree lands another week of fixes across RDMA, MM, nfsd, and 9p.

Migrate to linux-omarchy except on T2 Macs basecamp/omarchy

by ryanrhughes

Existing x86_64 systems running stock Linux, LTS, Zen, or either Panther Lake kernel move to linux-omarchy and linux-omarchy-headers, with the old kernels left in place for recovery. Machines with linux-t2 installed or a T2 kernel running are excluded, and the migration script becomes 1789325478.sh with a new machine-wide completion marker, so PTL migrators run it once while late updaters skip ...

Treat kernel headers as part of the base system basecamp/omarchy

by ryanrhughes

Kernel headers are now installed as part of the base system: the ISO lays down matching headers for every selected kernel before hardware setup, and NVIDIA, Xbox, Broadcom, Tuxedo, YT6801, and Cam Link installers drop their kernel/header selection entirely. DKMS consumers just install their drivers, and a migration adds the missing headers for existing linux-omarchy and linux-t2 systems, includ...

Merge tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma torvalds/linux

by Linus Torvalds

The RDMA pull request is dominated by bug fixes that landed over the past weeks: error unwind paths, several more races and bugs in siw and rxe that Jason Gunthorpe describes as "remote triggerable", corruption in HFI1's credit scheme, and a bogus user triggerable dev_warn. It also locks __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() properly and fixes a lockdep loop with disassociation.

Merge tag 'mm-hotfixes-stable-2026-09-13-21-50' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm torvalds/linux

by Linus Torvalds

Andrew Morton's misc pile carries 14 hotfixes, 10 of them tagged for stable and 11 in MM, including a bogus set_shrinker_bit() under cgroup.memory=nokmem and an EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM for lru_cache_drain_for_folio. The 9p fix addresses a netfs regression that entered in 7.1 and was backported to 7.0; Dominique Martinet notes the cached-attribute and i_size handling "will take more time" to rework.

Merge tag 'nfsd-7.3-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux torvalds/linux

by Linus Torvalds

Chuck Lever's nfsd fix corrects how NFSEXP_PNFS is handled in the netlink codepath, and the memblock pull request makes debugfs display all flags on a region rather than only some, alongside a MAINTAINERS update for the memblock tree URLs.
