With last week\u2019s release of Linux 5.0-rc1<\/a>, it\u2019s confirmed that Linus Torvalds has finally decided to adopt the 5.x series.<\/p>\n

The kernel enthusiasts and developers have been waiting for this change since the release of Linux 4.17<\/a>. Back then, Linus Torvalds hinted at the possibility of the jump to place after 4.20 release.<\/p>\n

\u201cI suspect that around 4.20 \u2013 which is I run out of fingers and toes to keep track of minor releases, and thus start getting mightily confused \u2013 I\u2019ll switch over,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In another past update, he said that version 5.0 would surely happen someday but it would be \u201cmeaningless<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coming back to the present day, Linus has said that the jump to 5.0 doesn\u2019t mean anything and he simply \u201cran out of fingers and
\ntoes to count on.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe numbering change is not indicative of anything special,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Moreover, he also mentioned that there aren\u2019t any major features that prompted this numbering either. \u201cSo go wild. Make up your own reason for why it\u2019s 5.0,\u201d he further added.<\/p>\n

Linus Torvalds<\/p>\n

\u201cGo test. Kick the tires. Be the first kid on your block running a 5.0 pre-release kernel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that we\u2019re done with all the \u201csecret\u201d reasons behind this move to 5.x series, we can expect Linux 5.0 to arrive in early March.<\/p>\n

There are many features being lined up for this release and I\u2019d covering those in the release announcement post. Meanwhile, keep reading Fossbytes for latest tech updates.<\/p>\n
