Welcome to the LWN.net Weekly Edition for October 20, 2022
This edition contains the following feature content:
- The disabling of hardware codecs in community distributions: just because the hardware can decode a media format doesn't mean that the software can use that capability.
- Identity management for WireGuard: a survey of options for the management of WireGuard keys.
- A first look at Rust in the 6.1 kernel: the next kernel will include Rust support — but it can't do much yet.
- The rest of the 6.1 merge window: significant changes pulled in the latter part of the kernel merge window.
- The search for the correct amount of split-lock misery: when (and by how much) is it appropriate to penalize users of working software to protect the system as a whole?
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.
Please enjoy this week's edition, and, as always, thank you for
