I am running 6.18 as the main kernel and also have 6.12 installed.When 6.19 is released will it delete 6.18 and keep 6.12 or will it remove 6.12 and keep 6.18 as the new LTS.
When linux is updated, it will remove 6.18 and replace it with 6.19.
When linux-lts is updated, it will remove 6.12 and replace it with 6.18.
Those two things may or may not happen at the same time.
Thank you @dalto I was just curious as to if anything was needed on my end.
No, nothing should be needed from you. Kernel updates will just happen as part of normal updates.
I hope Arch team keeps the LTS kernel 6.12 in the main/extra repo and does not push it out to AUR like what happened to the 6.6 LTS branch.
That is exactly what is going to happen. That happens every time linux-lts is updated to a new version.
I plan on keeping the 6.12 kernel around, but I’m using Chaotic AUR so it’ll be pre-compiled.
Wasnt the Linux LTS Kernel 6.6 shifted out to AUR from the main Arch repos once 6.12 LTS Branch was released?
Yeo, and after a bit Chaotic picked it up. I’m showing every LTS kernel is there going back to v5.15.
