minus-squarePupBiru@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up8·1 年前which is kinda the point of LTS right? or does LTS for kernel mean additional things?
minus-squareempireOfLove@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up45·edit-21 年前LTS means that the kernel will not recieve new features, but will receive security patches. Thus remaining stable with no breaking changes. 90% of android device manufacturers will drop in one kernel at launch day and then never, ever, ever touch it again. Fuck security, fuck the user.
