Pioneer DJM-S11 Professional DJ Mixer To Be Supported By Linux 7.3

The Pioneer DJM-S11 is a professional scratch style 2-channel DJ mixer that retails for $2,269 USD. But if currently connecting this expensive piece of kit to Linux, it does nothing and is unusable. With 87 new lines of code, it will begin to work with the Linux 7.3 kernel later this year...

Why this matters
Why now

The Linux kernel is continuously updated, and support for new hardware devices is a routine part of its development cycle.

Why it’s important

This event is not important for a strategic reader as it represents a minor incremental improvement in hardware compatibility for a niche product.

What changes

A specific professional DJ mixer will now function with a future version of the Linux operating system.
