Some things that look interesting to me are:
* WireGuard finally going into the mainline kernel for this secure VPN tunnel
* USB4 support
* Finally having an in-kernel SATA drive temperature reporting driver
* Btrfs Async Discard support for better TRIM/discard performance on SSDs with Btrfs
* Open-source NVIDIA RTX 2000 "Turing" graphics support
* EXT4 Direct I/O optimizations
* Supporting more Logitech drivers
And lots more – going to be quite a move forward.
