Linus Torvalds warning against Linux 5.12 release
by FenderGuy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GCJF)
Linux creator himself, Linus Torvalds, warned against the use of the Linux 5.12 release. He described a nasty bug," and wrote that the situation is a mess," due to the use of swap files when adding Linux updates.
As Torvalds noted a few weeks ago, most people don't use a swap file, but a separate swap partition and the bug in question really only happens when you have a regular file system, and put a file on as a swap.
Is this an issue for Linux Mint users, and if so, what is the remedy?
Thanks, guys.
