The time has come to say goodbye to the Linux 5.17 kernel series as it is now marked as EOL (End-of-Life) on the kernel.org website, which means that it will no longer receive maintenance updates.
Linux kernel 5.17 was released on March 20th, 2022, and it appears to be the shortest-lived kernel series to date. After only fifteen maintenance releases, Linux kernel 5.17 has now reached its end of life, which means that no further security updates will be provided for this branch in the future.
Therefore, all GNU/Linux distribution maintainers and users who like to compile their own kernels or install the newest from third-party repositories are now urged to upgrade their systems to the latest and greatest Linux 5.18 kernel series, which was also updated today to version 5.18.4.
