Linus Torvalds

Note that this is not a special edition and as Linus Torvalds states:

The change in numbering is not indicative of anything special. If you want an official reason, it's that I had outnumbered my fingers and toes and so 4.21 became 5.0 (with about 6.5M objects in the git repo). There is no one special which the new traffic numbering brings.

The first release candidate is already ready for public testing if you want to be the first to run the upcoming Linux 5.0 kernel on your Linux computer.

Although Linus Torvalds states that nothing changes, the new version brings updates and new drivers (50%), some ancient drivers, 20 percent are architecture updates, and 10% toolbars,.

With the first release candidate released, we can guess when we will see the final kernel. It may be released in late February or early March 2019. Usually, the final version depends on how many RC (Release Candidate) will be released. So it will be released on February 24 if seven RCs are released or on March 3 if eight are released.
