<2> Some Linux LTS Kernels Will Be Supported Even Longer, Announces Greg Kroah-Hartman
<3> Linux Kernel Support Schedule Update
Linux kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman has made an update to the projected end-of-life (EOL) dates for several active long-term support kernels. This decision was made “based on lots of discussions with different companies and groups and the other stable kernel maintainer,” Sasha Levin.

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.

It’s worth noting 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.
