New kernel(6.9.0) and new gcc(14) seems to be all good. i915 integrated gpu; running some custom software that builds fine, along with Mariadb and mongo; firefox and LibreOffice work fine too.
I updated my -current laptop to the latest changelog including the 6.9.0 kernel.
The laptop boots fine but I cant run a KDE plasma session. Launching plasma from 'startx' is a non-starter, reporting a startplasma-x11 crash. 'sddm' also fails to start.
'xdm' and the remaining window managers and xfce all start properly.
Rolling back to a 6.6.x kernel and everything works as expected (with the rest of the system still on the latest upgrades).
Not sure what's going on with that as I haven't found anything meaningful in logs yet.
Rolled back to 6.6.30 on one laptop, audio stopped working with 6.9 kernel
and worked again after rolling back to 6.6.x
On my -current desktop the xfce console crashes.
On another newer laptop (Vivobook) 6.9 worked flawlessly.

Everything seems to run just fine after uprading to the 6.9.0 kernel and homebuilt multilib gcc-14. This on a HP laptop, Intel Core i7-4510U, Intel Haswell-ULT Integrated Graphics, i915 and MATE DE.

This update fixes security issues:
Recursive clones on case-insensitive filesystems that support symbolic
links are susceptible to case confusion that can be exploited to
execute just-cloned code during the clone operation.
Repositories can be configured to execute arbitrary code during local
clones. To address this, the ownership checks introduced in v2.30.3
are now extended to cover cloning local repositories.
Local clones may end up hardlinking files into the target repository's
object database when source and target repository reside on the same
disk. If the source repository is owned by a different user, then
those hardlinked files may be rewritten at any point in time by the
untrusted user.
When cloning a local source repository that contains symlinks via the
filesystem, Git may create hardlinks to arbitrary user-readable files
on the same filesystem as the target repository in the objects/
directory.
It is supposed to be safe to clone untrusted repositories, even those
unpacked from zip archives or tarballs originating from untrusted
sources, but Git can be tricked to run arbitrary code as part of the
clone.

This will at least give some visibility on the latest updates here on the forum
If your post is worse than the official changelog in terms of visibility, please let the people who know how to do it
with my link and a copy/paste, take care of this thread
