Two weeks have passed since the release the Linux 5.13 kernel series and now the merge window for Linux kernel 5.14 is closed as Linus Torvalds just announced today the availability for public testing of the first Release Candidate (RC) milestone.

While most GNU/Linux distributions are struggling to upgrade their kernels to Linux 5.13, which already got its first point release and it's marked as "stable" on the kernel.org website, the kernel developers are busy again with the next major release, Linux kernel 5.14.
