In reply to: 6.12 being LTS (as expected - but not labeled) - 4.19 now EOL (as former LTS - with hints to go directly to 6.12 LTS) ... by alspnost

A corollary of LTS kernels only being supported for 2 years is that any product containing Linux and supported for longer than that will need one or more major kernel upgrades over its life. I hope this will force more upstreaming of drivers.
