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. 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)).
What is an LTS kernel?
An LTS includes back-ported bug fixes for older kernel trees. Not all bug fixes are imported. But all the important ones are backported to such kernels. They, especially for older trees, don’t usually see very frequent releases.
What does LTS mean in Linux?
LTS is an abbreviation for “Long Term Support”. We produce a new Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server release every six months. That means you’ll always have the latest and greatest applications that the open source world has to offer. Ubuntu is designed with security in mind.
