So one question, What will be the next LTS kernel? 6.15.x or 6.17.x or something else?
So basically, it depends, it seems:
What is the next longterm release going to be?
Longterm kernels are picked based on various factors – major new features, popular commercial distribution needs, device manufacturer demand, maintainer workload and availability, etc. You can roughly estimate when the new longterm version will become available based on how much time has elapsed since the last longterm version was chosen.
I would like to keep the 6.12.x LTS Kernel with the newest branch of the LTS kernel, say 6.18.x. But once the 6.18.x kernel comes out I am assuming that the 6.12.x branch will be shifted to AUR and will not be available anymore from the arch repositories. Is that a correct assumption?
Kernels can be downgraded so i assume it will still be possible.
Sure they can if you do it for the same series to resolve a temporary issue.
But you don’t want to “downgrade” your kernel to another series which is EOL and unmaintained.
6.12 series will be maintained until Dec 2026. After that, if there is no one who picks it up and maintain it in AUR then it will be RIP.

On that i agree, the user i aswered on was talking about the 6.12.xx kernel. I left out the details so thanks for adding those.

All upgraded and working nicely 
Looking good here on an all-AMD system.
Still waiting for the next electron version release. There’s a weird bug in the current version that means Obsidian doesn’t remember it’s zoom level for the UI.
All good except can’t build DKMS module cp210x:
( 3/11) Install DKMS modules
==> dkms install --no-depmod v4l2loopback/0.15.1 -k 6.17.1-arch1-1
==> dkms install --no-depmod cp210x/0.1 -k 6.17.1-arch1-1
Deprecated feature: CLEAN (/usr/src/cp210x-0.1/dkms.conf)
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.17.1-arch1-1 (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/cp210x/0.1/build/make.log for more information.
==> WARNING: `dkms install --no-depmod cp210x/0.1 -k 6.17.1-arch1-1' exited 10
==> depmod 6.17.1-arch1-1
(Needed to flash some ESP32 boards via Chromium.)
Last worked on kernel 6.16.10-arch1-1.
Reading this thread like 6 hours after the upgrade always feels kinda rightly wrong
