List of Linux kernel names should be merged into this page by adding one more column--Nngnna (talk) 10:03, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
In the entry for the 4.4.220 kernel, the impression is given that CIP is guaranteeing SLTS until 2026, possibly 2036. Following the source link, it's not looking as if the CIP project were committing to anything yet, and the numbers 2026 and 2036 must have been derived from simply adding the lowest and highest realistic estimate, respectively, to the release date. 195.135.248.94 (talk) 18:52, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Since the change which made the lists of versions < 5 shown by default, one has to scroll down pretty far until some relevant/current information is shown. Does anyone got some input regarding changing the order of the lists? E.g the > 5 at the top, 4, 3, 2.6, older. The order within the lists would stay the same. Just the order of the lists them self. I will implement this in ~2 weeks time if i don't get any comments back. GruensFroeschli (talk) 08:04, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
I think the "support model" column is too verbose. It lists EOL versions but the left "version" column already shows EOL versions in red. Also the start of the supported times of all versions are in the "original release date" column. I think we should replace that column with an "EOL date" column and add a new "notes" column for extra bits of support information. The names can also go in the notes section I suppose? --Betseg (talk) 10:31, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
I don't have any strong feelings regarding this. But you are right, the "Support Model" columns is currently more used as a "notes".

Think this page suffers a bit from overlinking, we all know what a puppy and a brown bag is. Anybody wanna give a thumbs up to some cleaning? Dhalamh (talk) 15:12, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
Which links would you propose to remove? The references for the releases? GruensFroeschli (talk) 14:00, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
It would make sense for readers to see what these new releases were about. 5.18.242.22 (talk) 17:37, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
Major issue: Currently the timeline in the lead is grouped by the major version number. This is not how it should be done. Instead a new row of the timeline should begin with the release after the last LTS release and end with the next LTS release. As it stands, the LTS release duration is confusing shown to the reader and this is no way to resolve this.
Less major issue: The ordering of the article is confusing. The timeline increases downward by version number. The sections increase downward too but tables with each section increase upward. We are whipsawing the reader's brain here. Not sure how many page watchers are here but we need to pick consistent way: recent up higher OR recent down lower. After the timeline issue is fixed, we should then have a discussion to choose which way. Jason Quinn (talk) 22:48, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi! I can't fix Linux 6.0 newest version, it's not 6.1 but 6.0.12. --HenriHa (talk) 10:30, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:IOS version history which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 17:48, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
