Linux 6.5 has many great features from the AMD P-State EPP driver default rather than ACPI CPUFreq for Zen 2 and newer supported AMD Ryzen systems, initial USB4 v2 enablement, initial MIDI 2.0 kernel driver work, more Intel hybrid CPU tuning, and a whole lot more.

    I can’t really blame the manufacturers because the USB-IF’s suggested schemes would just confuse people even more. If people see 10Gbps on the box they’re gonna assume it can do 10Gbps, but tons of stuff ends up capped well below the USB link speed (most everything based on SATA<->USB converters internally is 6Gbps max).

    It’s choosing between a bad naming scheme or something a lot of consumers would interpret as a straight up lie.

      But that isn’t USBs fault sata is capped at 6. That’s like saying well I plugged in a usb 1 hard drive adapter and I’m not getting 10 Gbps.
