anyone else feel like the linux kernel release quality has come down a bit here in the 2020s? i feel like it hasn't been this bad since the mid 90s. anecdotally in the past couple years, i've experienced a data corruption bug in xfs, wonky wifi firmware/kernel regressions, graphics artifacts and hard crashes in amdgpu. my experience with mainline releases before 2020 has been that they're rock solid. i'd doubt myself before i doubted the kernel. i say all this with a deep appreciation for everyone and the work they're doing... my intuition says that the complexity of it all is reaching a tipping point that is finally overwhelming the ages old release engineering processes.
