Linux 6.6.82

posted by Rianne Schestowitz on Mar 09, 2025

Quoting: Linux 6.6.82 —

I'm announcing the release of the 6.6.82 kernel.

All i386 users of the 6.6 kernel series must upgrade (as they skipped the last release.) All other arches can skip this one as it should not affect them.

The updated 6.6.y git tree can be found at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git linux-6.6.y and can be browsed at the normal kernel.org git web browser: https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-s...

thanks,

greg k-h
