Linux 6.12 Officially Promoted To Being An LTS Kernel
Linux stable maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman officially designated Linux 6.12 as this year's long-term support (LTS) kernel version.
Linux stable maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman officially designated Linux 6.12 as this year's long-term support (LTS) kernel version. Currently the Linux 6.12 LTS state is marked with a projected end-of-life (EOL) of December 2026 -- just two years from now and the same EOL date as the Linux 5.10 / 5.15 / 6.1 / 6.6 LTS series. It's possible the Linux 6.12 LTS timeline will be extended beyond December 2026 but it depends upon the level of support from hardware/software vendors, testers, and the open-source community at large to continue actively using the Linux 6.12 LTS kernel and help in testing new patches for the series, vetting 6.12.xx release candidates, etc.
