This is your friendly reminder that the Linux 7.1 kernel series has
reached the end of its supported life and that you should consider
upgrading to Linux kernel 7.2 as soon as possible.

Linux kernel 7.1 was released on June 14th, 2026, introducing new
features like a new NTFS file system implementation, which has been
in the works for the last 4 years, featuring full write support with
delayed allocation, iomap, and folio integration to improve write
performance, and a new suite of userspace utilities called
ntfsprogs-plus.

But since Linux kernel 7.1 is a short-lived branch supported only
for a couple of months, it is now marked as EOL (End of Life) on the
kernel.org website, effective immediately, starting today, September
2nd, 2026, as announced by renowned Linux kernel developer Greg
Kroah-Hartman, who urged users to move to the latest Linux 7.2
kernel branch.

�I�m announcing the release of the 7.1.13 kernel. All users of the
7.1 kernel series must upgrade. Note, the 7.1.y kernel series is now end-of-life. Please move to the 7.2.y kernel series at this point in
time,� said Greg Kroah-Hartman in a mailing list announcement.

The last update to the Linux 7.1 kernel series is Linux 7.1.13,
which was released today as well, for those who can�t upgrade to
Linux kernel 7.2 right away. Unfortunately, Linux 7.2 already landed
in the stable repositories of popular GNU/Linux distributions, such
as Arch Linux and openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Linux kernel 7.2 was released on August 16th, 2026, with cache-aware load-balancing support, initial HDMI 2.1 FRL support to the AMDGPU
driver, support for devres-based management of ACPI notify handlers,
initial CRI platform support for the Intel Xe driver, and a �Fair
(er)� GPU scheduler.

However, Linux 7.2 is yet another short-lived kernel branch that
will only be supported for a couple of months. Therefore, if you�re
looking for long-term support, you should consider using one of the
many LTS kernel series, including Linux 6.18 LTS, Linux 6.12 LTS,
Linux 6.6 LTS, or Linux 6.1 LTS, all being supported until December
2027 and 2028, respectively.
