The end of Linux i486 support looks nigh  theregister.com

An anonymous reader shared this report from the blogIt's FOSS: Greg Kroah-Hartman has updated the projected end-of-life (EOL) dates for several active longterm support kernels via a commit. The provided reasoning? It was done "based on lots of discussions with different companies and groups and the other stable kernel maintainer." The other maintainer is Sasha Levin, who co-maintains these Linux kernel releases alongside Greg. Now, the updated support schedule for the currently active LTS kernels looks like this: — Linux 6.6 now EOLs Dec 2027 (was Dec 2026), giving it a 4-year support window. — Linux 6.12 now EOLs Dec 2028 (was Dec 2026), also a 4-year window. — Linux 6.18 now EOLs Dec 2028 (was Dec 2027), at least 3 years of support. Worth noting above is that Linux 5.10 and 5.15 are both hitting EOL this year in December, so if your distro is still running either of these, now is a good time to start thinking about a move.
