A lengthy thread was started last autumn titled “Reg the next LTS kernel (6.1?)” in which Kaiwan N Billimoria, who is working on a second edition of a Linux Kernel Programming book, wondered if Linux 6.1 would become the next Long Term Stable kernel supported by Greg K-H (Kroah-Hartman) for several years of backports. Typically, such kernels are used by Linux distros for their longer-term releases, and an LTS is useful for a book to target.
Traditionally, Greg makes the call on the LTS at the end of the year. This time, he retorted, “You tell me please,” asking the community to say if it was committing to test 6.1 and help him to make it a successful LTS. A number of folks replied, but as of yet there is no new committed LTS release.
