As expected, the recently released Linux 6.18 kernel series has been officially marked as LTS (Long Term Support) on the kernel.org website with a predicted life expectancy of at least two years.

Linux kernel 6.18 was released at the end of November 2025 with new features like support for the Rust Binder driver, a new dm-pcache device-mapper target to enable persistent memory as a cache for slower block devices, and a new microcode= command-line option to control the microcode loader’s behavior on x86 platforms.

While Linux 6.18 is making its way into the stable software repositories of various popular GNU/Linux distributions, such as Arch Linux, openSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora Linux, and others, it has already received LTS (Long Term Support) status on the kernel.org website, supported until December 2027.
