Linux Kernel 6.10 Reaches End of Life, It’s Time to Upgrade to Linux Kernel 6.11
Linux kernel 6.10 was released on July 14th, 2024, introducing new features like a new mseal() system call for memory sealing, Rust language support for the RISC-V architecture, Zstandard compression support for the EROFS file system, shadow stack support for the x32 subarchitecture, TPM bus encryption and integrity protection, initial support for setting up PFCP (Packet Forwarding Control Protocol) filters, and more.
Linux kernel 6.10 is not a long-term support (LTS) branch so it was supported for only a couple of months with fourteen maintenance updates, the last being Linux 6.10.14, announced today by renowned Linux kernel developer Greg Kroah-Hartman, who marked the Linux 6.10 branch as EOL (End of Life) on the kernel.org website and urged users to move to the latest Linux 6.11 kernel series.
