LTS suggests some kind of Long Term Support, the "more stable |version" of the Linux kernel. But I noticed that both versions are |basically the same, and have been for some time, according to their commit |histories[0]: linux-lts was bumped to 6.1.8 on Jan 24, linux-edge on the |same day. kernel.org still does not mention that 6.1.* is a LTS. I have *zero* insight, but by accident stumbled upon a mail thread (i think via lwn.net?) where people are hm aggressively asking whether 6.1 will be the next LTS (months before it was released, then again in i think December), provocating bugged responses from Greg K-H. Which is why i *think* that 6.1 is not an "official announced" LTS. Alpine surely switched to 6.1 *immediately* once it came out, making me afraid a bit. --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
