From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For broader coverage of this topic, see History of Linux.

This article documents the version history of the Linux kernel.

Each major version – identified by the first two numbers of a release version – is designated one of the following levels of support:

  • Supported till next stable version
  • Long-term support (LTS); maintained for a few years[1]
  • Super-long-term support (SLTS); maintained for many more years by the Civil Infrastructure Platform (CIP)[2]
