Linux kernel version history

The Linux kernel is a free and open-source, monolithic, Unix-like operating system kernel. It was conceived and created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds.[1]

See also: History of Linux

Linux kernels have different support level depending on version, (e.g. version 4.4, released in January 2016, was declared to have Long-Term Support (LTS)). It has 6 years of support that way, but was also defined to have Super Long Term Support (SLTS), i.e. Civil Infrastructure Platform will provide support (for 32-bit ARM and x86-64 only) until at least 2026, possibly until 2036.[2] It is by now the oldest supported version.
