Perhaps you meant the subject to be "[SID - Unstable] Sid Moves to the 6.6.x Kernal" instead of "[SID - Unstable] Sid Moves to the 6.x Kernal"

Yesterday (or the day bf?) the Linux kernel in Sid moved to version 6.6.13. To me at the least, the dizzying version number changes actually indicate the incredible amounts of efforts that our hardworking Debian developers have been trying to so aggressively keep Sid a leading (but definitely not bleeding!) edge OS. Probably as a result thereof, the stable version of Debian, currently bkworm, can actually keep up very well with very recent hardware advancements.

Recently we bought a Ryzen 7 5700U (with Radeon Vega 8 GPU) mini-PC, as shown in the attached screenshot:

we are so amazed with the performance of bkworm on this machine! (Sid also works great) Measuring 12.5 x 11 x 4 (cm), it is more powerful than my current bulky desktop machine that we purchased only less than 3 years ago. And costs only a fraction of it ($280 vs over $1K).

Our office is budgeted to upgrade two pcs this year. If this mini-pc continues to run well, with the money saved, I may be able to convince my boss to purchase a couple of extras and donate them to some of our forum elders to help bkworm/sid developments. In the past, the shipping cost is prohibitive for any hardware donation (especially for international shipping).

By the way, this kernel series is longterm.....
