Surprisingly with Linux's new kernel release
Linus and the community is still developing
support for floppy disk drivers I'm not sure
why this is as no one uses computers with floppy
disk readers anymore but I assume its to keep
Linux being flexible and working on all devices
therefore maintaining the compatibility Linux has
among computers
"Denis Efremov submitted a floppy driver pull request to Linux block subsystem maintainer Jens Axboe of the driver updates for Linux 6.2. Floppy driver updates are seldom but still seemingly cared about for the latest kernel code."
It seems like linus isn't actually supporting
the drivers its the community and the people themselves
This is why I love open-source. people care about everything
in the code
