Title: Some Linux LTS Kernels Will Be Supported Even Longer, Announces Greg
Kroah-Hartman

Link: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/26/03/01/042...

An anonymous reader shared this report from the blogIt's FOSS: Greg Kroah-
Hartman has updated the projected end-of-life (EOL) dates for several active
longterm support kernels via a commit. The provided reasoning? It was done
"based on lots of discussions with different companies and groups and the
other stable kernel maintainer." The other maintainer is Sasha Levin, who co-
maintains these Linux kernel releases alongside Greg. Now, the updated
support schedule for the currently active LTS kernels looks like this: -
Linux 6.6 now EOLs Dec 2027 (was Dec 2026), giving it a 4-year support
window. - Linux 6.12 now EOLs Dec 2028 (was Dec 2026), also a 4-year window. -
 Linux 6.18 now EOLs Dec 2028 (was Dec 2027), at least 3 years of support.
Worth noting above is that Linux 5.10 and 5.15 are both hitting EOL this year
in December, so if your distro is still running either of these, now is a
good time to start thinking about a move.
