I dont get it. Fedora is still on 6.7.11 and it already causes tons of issues.

So this is why LTS kernels are a thing?

Distro kernel versions don’t have to strictly correspond with upstream. They be patching their shit

I am confused that this Kernel is EOL when a nonstable Distro like Fedora still uses it.

Distributions may support specific kernels longer than their ‘official’ end-of-life. For example, Ubuntu 22.04 will use the 5.15 kernel until April of 2027 even though it’s technically end-of-life in October 2026.
