Welcome to the LWN.net Weekly Edition for July 23, 2026

• Debating the role of large language models in the kernel community: the kernel LLM discussion has been more nuanced than many think.
• Save and restore may be coming to GNOME: the pieces are coming together to bring a much-missed X11 feature to GNOME on Wayland.
• Fedora grapples with change: a look at Fedora's ongoing discussions about managing distribution and project changes.
• More coverage from the 2026 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit:
• Attaching programs to multiple tracepoints: Jiri Olsa discusses the changes necessary to make tracepoint attachment more efficient.
• Securing BPF LSMs against tampering: Christian Brauner leads a discussion of the problems systemd has had in deploying BPF LSMs.
• Merging famfs?: famfs is aimed at shared access to huge memory appliances, but it has not found its way into the kernel, so the discussion centered on how to change that.
• Sched-ext: enqueue() for sub-schedulers and proxy-execution support: progress continues in the sched_ext subsystem.

This week's edition also includes these inner pages:

• Brief items: Brief news items from throughout the community.
• Announcements: Newsletters, conferences, security updates, patches, and more.
