6.6 LTS kernel builds have been added to the Github Woof-CE kernel-kit actions - both 32 & 64 bit with aufs and overlayfs in both traditional and usrmerge formats:

@peebee

Thank you all the kernel updates that you provide

I read your post regarding the EOL dates for several builds all ending in 2026. I wonder what will be the plans moving forward.

............ got the missing "delta" file for LXPup and successfully ended up with a new ISO. Will be trying this out shortly.

Have additional questions regarding LXPup but will post in the appropriate thread.

BTW I realised there are 2 Linux Kernel builds available ie Mainstream and Libre.

......... I am assuming your LX kernel updates are from the mainstream branch(?) ... if so,had you either consider using the Libre builds?

If not, why?

If not, why?

We use: https://www.kernel.org/

Libre usually means more restricted... less general purpose
