Linux Kernel 6.13 Released: Here's What's New!
AMD users and old Apple device owners, this is a good release for you!
Huawei is known for its interesting innovations in smartphone tech. So, it is an intriguing claim.
Many of us know and love what the Linux kernel has to offer, but we still have really great alternatives around in the form of the many BSD-based derivatives out there.
But, as it stands, a new competitor to the Linux kernel has come up from the house of Huawei. Let's see what that is all about.

What's Happening: According to a recent report, Huawei has unveiled a new kernel called “Harmony kernel” for its next generation of HarmonyOS that claims to be three times more efficient than the Linux kernel.
Announced during an event where Yu Chengdong, the CEO of Huawei's Consumer Business Group, unveiled what HarmonyOS NEXT would offer. He said that their company had made “a true OS this time which installs full-stack self-developed technologies and doesn't rely upon the U.S. traditional Linux cores”.
As for the Harmony kernel, Yu added that it uses a “heterogeneous native-like” mechanism to offer a smooth experience, and that the Harmony kernel implementation for HarmonyOS NEXT is three times more memory efficient than Linux.
They also claim that they have used “effective internal components” to suit all kinds of devices, ranging from smartphones, tablets, foldables, and more.
On the security side of things, the Harmony kernel has been said to qualify for three certification standards: CC EAL 6+, ASIL-D, and IEC 61508 making way for a secure experience across many verticals.
Does it Matter?
If you ask me, it does for Huawei's home country, China, as in recent times they have been the target of many sanctions from the United States.
Developing a kernel is just one of the things they are pushing for in their bid to be a more self-reliant nation, though the methods they have been using is a matter of great controversy.
Even just a few months back, many GOP lawmakers were calling for stricter sanctions on Huawei, and according to a recent report, it appears that Huawei is not taking no for an answer.
But, so far, we only have Huawei's claims about how the Harmony kernel performs, only time will tell if there is any weight behind this claim.
However, one thing is getting more clear day-by-day, more and more nations are now pushing towards self-reliance than ever before, trying to end their dependence on foreign tech.
💬 What do you think? Will Huawei succeed in their endeavor of making something more efficient than the Linux kernel?

What does that even mean? How is linux American? It’s open, it belongs to the world.
But He has a specific purpose and a specific plan for your individual life, in the whole of all things. And did you know its as if ONE river of life. That ”But I took the road less traveled by“(famous) is cute; but you would want to understand there really isn’t two roads. This is deep… Fair warning. That other choice (unfaithful fear of sorrows so your own guessing way) is nothing but a dead end. Ending in hell, existing in death forever. The road truly less traveled by is walking by faith, and that’s not a flavor of the month church or conflicting religious core mission documentation. I do NOT subscribe to Christ; because my parents did. They didn’t. So it’s a lie you would be buddist if you were rasied with them, etc… Else you would be able to lie and say all beliefs are false. Or all can be true; when they conflict at BASE. Only pretend on the surface, as evil does and must every time. The good news is you can learn to unpack half-truths and bust them up; if you know the real truth they are poorly hiding behind. And expose their false accusation, are what they are doing. And also two faced saying they are bad; but not for them. Thinking themselves above the law. Violating your differences, rights, equality and with hypocrisy at the same time.
But look the real is stranger than fiction and yet logically fits with the whole, evident and with perfect authenticity. God, with Jesus and as the I AM, before ALL things was NOT limited to seeing all in what we think of as then. Out past, present and future perspective is appropriate for our obovious lack of complete vision. But God’s thinking AND perspective is not limited. He does not just think about different time, He is in different times just as well. GOD is 4D I guess. Of course we will not here understand like He does. But amazing even with our limits; we can see something different there with GOD. Again I think that’s because of our family tie; Him being our Father creator. How can we start to think about eternity; because He made us for it; with Him. And there is the point of everything. GOD will make saints, numerous over our generations and is making His all volunteer-only children of His Love(returned), in His time.
And for some of you brethren out there please stop saying GOD is just big enough to be mean in His “sovereignty” and so creates folks just to go to hell. He knows what He is doing thank you. It really means GOD is much more love than we can imagine. And why need to study this. Wrath can be good; not against good. Wrath is for evil. Who can be good and not against evil? And it doesn’t matter when or if we see it correctly, in the light and bigger picture. GOD will never stop being good ALL THE TIME even when we’re scared of Him. It’s not like GOD will sin to keep you in the club. We are changing. His character is not changing, ever. I did not say we can’t see His different emotions. And could you not be really peeved at a beloved puppy and yet love them at the very same time? If the puppy get a newspaper pop on it’s tale until it stop pissing in the house then is God evil? And just because God will NEVER test you beyond what you can bare does not mean you willnot feel like you can’t bare it. So don’t piss on God or try to wrestle with Him.You will not like it. And BTW; do NOT (never, ever, ever) honestly pray for trials so you may learn a lot. LOL. I respect you may think that’s a good idea. It is not.
But God had to know what Lucifer was going to do BEFORE GOD made Him perfect, right. YES! So, why did GOD, the always good ALLOW Satan (as we say kinda amiss about GOD)?
So look yes God knew satan brought death. God’s gift of freedom required this choice. Because just Life/GOD/Jesus alone in Eden can’t be a choice. And we know real angel spirits with JESUS are free indeed. Not still thinking about it as when new. And the fallen after satan demons (spirits, not movie crap) are set after the end of their 1st age, meaning they were given fair loving freedom of a perfect amount of time and picked their death. And we have until we leave this 2nd age, even if passed on after a car wreck today or our aging, of the two, between Life and Death. The two opposing FAMILES. Including the Kingdom of God, the purpose and point. And when God’s says the family death served their purpose of contrast; that doesn’t means evil is good somehow. It shows it isn’t. And you can not be gone 100% to hell completely, until you are. So change your mind before you can’t. Or don’t. I hope you do.
GOD (so called) “allowed” us freedom including our deathly choices to go our own way, in our limited understandings by creating Lucifer in the beginning, as so beautiful, the most (which doesn’t mean beauty is bad. It means vanity is bad.) So then how is GOD evil for all this suffering, the spirit of fear(sorrows,losses) and confusion with the devil accuser, his legion of messages, that can only lie (not just conceptually) and also mankind who currently are against Jesus, all put together? Because it feels bad? No God is so good, all the time, and times.
See unusual does not make something illogical. I have asked some tough questions and found answers most say are not possible for us see. You can’t know that until you try. Even then you might not be ready and can try later. This stuff is simple an even a child can understand and the basics. But you get complicated then better be ready to back it up and go deep. The reward is understanding and how things really are. Real purpose and postive GREATER hope. It’s getting rough out there and you need to know who you are. Stop looking for others to approve of you and please The Lord who is everyone Lord’s agreed or not. Not that you have to. Just if you really want The Truth.
For my Linux friends, that might be open. What good is our open computer if you are a slave to sin? Kicks sins ass out the door. Good character is needed now. Our nations are never going to help the world without Jesus. We are become slaves to big tech and national propaganda wars. Our youth have been tricked and to few are thinking about defeating the minds of a nation first with subtle propaganda. If not proved or highly probably, not circumstantial evidence then that internet fools… “walks like a duck, so ya know”. No it may not be a duck at all. But that is not what we are seeing today. Why are we sitting on the evidence? Please, what is your standard of good and evil. We can’t keep those backwards. It’s NOT about who thinks so. And we have to celebrate and enjoy good without reserve. And call evil what it is and of course do justly. I’m saying watch your thinking logic first. Why do we still trust fake news? How long will we allow people to lie to us? And when will we stop thinking lies are all easy for us to detect? We need to learn good ways to think for our-self. Trust Peace. Not the fake peace who destroys you.
, Linux, an operating system, can only work with a CPU if it 'understands' the CPU's language, known as its instruction set. Just like you need to know the right language to communicate with someone from another country, Linux needs to know the instruction set of the CPU to communicate with it. If China develops a new CPU with a completely different instruction set and doesn't share the details of this new language, then Linux won't be able to work with these CPUs. It's like trying to read a book written in a language you've never learned.
If someone knows the CPU instruction set and has the appropriate access to the system, they can potentially manipulate it. thats why china developing new cpu and kernels , they want to protect their country and their resources , Indians dont have it , well india need start think about this now , as indias all military secrets are open to americans
First - is this Kernel Open Source ?
Secound - its it a fork of the Linux Kernel, or is it an indenpend development ?
Being a hybrid socially controlled country, it would be a big surprise if they release any opensource tech.
Secound - its it a fork of the Linux Kernel, or is it an indenpend development ?
China is less of an inventor, and more of a copy master.
Energy efficiency might be an aspect, though.
The role of an operating system's kernel is crucial here. It acts as a translator, converting low-level machine instructions into operations that the CPU can execute. These instructions are tied to the architecture of the CPU, which in most cases has been developed by American companies. This architectural dependency means that simply copying the Linux kernel wouldn't be effective for CPUs with different architectures.
This is where Huawei's strategy becomes clear. By developing their own CPUs, Huawei necessitates the creation of a customized kernel. This kernel must be tailored to communicate effectively with their unique CPU architecture. For example, in an Intel x86 64 architecture, a binary sequence like 010010 is interpreted as a specific command or data. Huawei's kernel would need to do the same for their proprietary CPU architecture.
The broader implication of this development is significant. Huawei's progress in creating its own kernel and CPUs suggests a move towards technological independence. Within the next 50 years, this could lead to a shift in the global balance of technological power, reducing reliance on American CPU and semiconductor technology. This trend is not limited to China; other countries like India are also investing in developing their own technological infrastructures, partly driven by the potential risk of American sanctions. This represents a dynamic shift in the global technological landscape, with more countries striving for self-reliance in critical technological sectors.
Its graphics is ultra amazing
Its THE perfect OS for Smartphone and PC
Linux is monolithic architecture that has is dated …..Haiku is micro kernel that is adaptive and modern.
Linux kernel must make way for Haiku kernel
Although, a Chinesa ecosystem might benefit it.
However, we might expect a compatibility issues, so some software might break.
