π To keep Linux instances secure, Long Term Support (LTS) kernels are essential. π
In 2023, LTS support was reduced to two years due to maintainer burnout. However, user feedback led to a decision to extend support for key releases. π§ Linux 6.6 will now be supported until 2027, while 6.12 and 6.18 will last until 2028. This provides a longer support window compared to the previous two-year plan. π Older 5.xx branches will retain their end-of-life dates in December 2026. #Linux #LTS...
