From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
QEMU 8.2 adds a new "virtio-sound" device that implements capture and playback from inside a guest using the configured audio backend of the host machine.
A new VirtIO-GPU "Rutabaga" device that allows various abstractions of GPU and display virtualization.
This VirtIO-GPU Rutabaga comes from the Android/CrosVM graphics stack and is intended for use with the Android Emulator on QEMU.
QEMU documentation describes this as "virtio-balloon on steroids for Windows guests."
Plus support for 4K page sizes and other ongoing LoongArch enablement work.
