Typo: "... Improved AMD ROCm/AMDKFD support for "small" Ryzne APUs ..."

Meh. If they backport the AES-XTS upgrade then I’ll have no other reason to switch until 6.9 goes EOL.

My Zen2 threadripper will like it!

It takes like 5 minutes to upgrade
Though I'm one to talk since it's been like a month since I upgraded. Gonna go do that now

It takes like 5 minutes to upgrade

Only if you're installing a pre-compiled binary from your distribution and you don't care about the Kconfig.

Only if you're installing a pre-compiled binary from your distribution and you don't care about the Kconfig.

Or if you only compile the needed modules for your hardware on a recent many-core Zen 4 processor.

Compile times for me are around two minutes.
