Ngokulibaziseka okuncinci, iLatin American Free Software Foundation yapapasha inguqulelo yasimahla yeLinux 5.16 kernel-Linux-libre 5.16-gnu, ecinyiweyo kwizinto ze-firmware kunye nabaqhubi abaqulethe izinto ezingasimahla okanye amacandelo ekhowudi, umda wawo umda ngumenzi. Ukongeza, i-Linux-libre ikhubaza isakhono se-kernel sokulayisha izinto ezingahlawulelwayo ezingaqukwanga kunikezelo lwe-kernel, kwaye isusa ukukhankanywa kokusebenzisa amacandelo angasimahla kuxwebhu.
Ukucoca i-kernel kwiindawo ezingahlawulelwayo, iskripthi seqokobhe jikelele senziwe ngaphakathi kweprojekthi ye-Linux-libre, equlethe amawaka eetemplates zokumisela ubukho bokufakwa kokubini kunye nokuphelisa iipositi zobuxoki. Iipetshi esele zenziwe kusetyenziswa esi script singasentla zikwafumaneka ukuba zikhutshelwe. I-Linux-libre kernel iyacetyiswa ukuba isetyenziswe kunikezelo oluhlangabezana neekhrayitheriya zeSiseko seSoftwe sasimahla sokwakha unikezelo lwasimahla lwe-GNU/Linux. Umzekelo, i Linux-libre kernel isetyenziswa kunikezelo olunje nge Dragora Linux, Trisquel, Dyne:Bolic, gNewSense, Parabola, Musix and Kongoni.
Ekukhutshweni kwe-Linux-libre 5.16-gnu, ukulayishwa kweblob kuvaliwe kubaqhubi abatsha beechips ezingenazingcingo (mt7921s kunye ne-rtw89/8852a), izikrini zokuchukumisa (ili210x), iitshiphusi zesandi (qdsp6) kunye ne-dsp i.MX, ngokunjalo nakwi-in. iifayile devicetree for aarch64 - chips Qualcomm. Ukongeza kwifowuni ye-"firmware_request_builtin" ecetywayo kwi-kernel, i-Linux-libre inikezela ngomsebenzi ophambeneyo "i-firmware_reject_builtin". Izikripthi zokucoca ikhowudi zinemisebenzi edibeneyo yokukhubaza isicelo_i-firmware kunye _nowarn/_builtin iinketho.
