Linus Torvalds announced Linux kernel 6.18 on the last Sunday of November 2025, marking the final release of the year. The kernel has been officially designated as a long-term support version, with maintenance promised until December 2027. It includes various hardware improvements, file system enhancements, and new features like the Rust Binder driver.
The Linux kernel 6.17 series has officially reached the end of its supported life, prompting users to upgrade to the newer 6.18 LTS version. Released in September 2025, kernel 6.17 was a short-term branch that introduced several hardware support enhancements. Kernel 6.18, launched last month, offers long-term stability until 2027.
