Ngemuva kwezinyanga ezimbili zokuthuthuka, uLinus Torvalds wethule ukukhululwa kwe-Linux kernel 5.5. Phakathi kwezinguquko eziphawuleka kakhulu:
- ikhono lokunikeza amanye amagama ezixhumi kunethiwekhi,
- ukuhlanganiswa kwemisebenzi ye-cryptographic emtatsheni wezincwadi we-Zinc,
- kungenzeka ukwenza isibuko kumadiski angaphezu kwama-2 ku-Btrfs RAID1,
- indlela yokulandelela isimo samapeshi abukhoma,
- i-unit unit test framework,
- ukusebenza okuthuthukisiwe kwesitaki esingenantambo se-mac80211,
- ikhono lokufinyelela ukwahlukanisa kwezimpande nge-SMB protocol,
- thayipha ukuqinisekiswa ku-BPF.
Inguqulo entsha ihlanganisa ukulungiswa okungu-15505 okuvela kubathuthukisi abangu-1982, usayizi wesichibi ungu-44 MB (ushintsho luthinte amafayela angu-11781, imigqa yekhodi engu-609208 yengeziwe, imigqa engu-292520 isusiwe). Cishe u-44% wazo zonke izinguquko ezethulwe ku-5.5 zihlobene nezishayeli zedivayisi, cishe u-18% wezinguquko zihlobene nokubuyekeza ikhodi eqondene nezakhiwo zehadiwe, u-12% uhlobene nesitaki senethiwekhi, u-4% uhlobene nezinhlelo zamafayela, futhi u-3% zihlobene nesistimu ye-kernel yangaphakathi.
