Softpedia has word that Linus Torvalds plans to address problems running Witcher 2 under Linux with a kernel patch for the operating system, explaining that it fits his development philosophy to not force developers to work around kernel issuers. Here's his explanation of why the operating system needs a patch to support a proper port of CD Projekt RED's RPG sequel, which currently runs under a wrapper of sorts: "It looks like LDT_empty is buggy on 64-bit kernels. I suspect that the behavior was inconsistent before the tightening change and that it's now broken as a result. I'll write a patch. Serves me right for not digging all the way down the mess of macros." Thanks Ant via Linux Today.

Earlier this week Linus also declared they were keeping support for Acoustic Couplers because they have 1 active user in Russia that requested they not remove support in a new kernel update.

Now *that* is support!
