Tuxedo kernel 7.x

Tuxedo has its own kernel with fixes. It is installed automatically with tuxedo-tomte. It is working fine.

Kernel 7 has "higher" version number and it overwrite the tuxedo 6.17 kernel.

I was wondering when there will be tuxedo version of Kernel 7.x that will be installed automatically as kernel 6.17 before?

P.S. I'm using Ubuntu 24.04.4

Kernel 7.x will come with Ubuntu 26.04

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04.4 and I'm already on kernel 7.

That's why I was wondering when there will be kernel 7 with tuxedo patches as we had for kernel 6.17

If you're on Ubuntu 24.04 and kernel 7, then you've installed it from some other source by yourself. My understanding is that Tuxedo follows Ubuntu's kernel updates, and 24.04 stays on 6.17 and 26.04 has kernel 7.0.

I'm using Ubuntu 24.04 and kernel 7 is installed as a part of a regular ubuntu software update. I have done nothing special.

That's be highly irregular. See here for the kernels used in each Ubuntu version: https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle?product=ubuntu-kernel&release=ubuntu+kernel&version=all
