minus-squareAutoTL;DR@lemmings.worldBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·11 months agoThis is the best summary I could come up with: The kernel 6.6.6 version number delighted many a black-clad open source fan, but not for long. At the end of October, Linux version 6.6 came out, and just over a couple of weeks later, it became the latest long-term supported release. The same problem affected release 6.6.5, and just as in the older stable kernel series, the change was removed again the following working day. Monday (December 11) saw the release of the satanically significant kernel 6.6.6, backing out just that single change from the previous version. But now comes the bad news for all the spooky kids out there: the kernel bearing the Mark of the Beast didn’t last long at all. With such a short window of opportunity, it’s no wonder there wasn’t an update and re-release of Ubuntu Satanic Edition. The original article contains 332 words, the summary contains 133 words.
