Generic Kernel Version 6.1.24.kjh_p is running fine on my Slackware64 15.0 + Multilib LapTop.

No CVE References were found for 6.2.11, 6.1.24 or 5.15.107, but as always, do check the ChangeLogs for other security-related fixes.

6.3-rc7
Release Candidate 7, for the 6.3 "mainline" development kernel has been been made available for testing.

Saw this,

No bad surprise here.
Build results:
total: 153 pass: 153 fail: 0
Qemu test results:
total: 520 pass: 520 fail: 0

https://lkml.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/...4.2/01318.html

and decided to build and try out the 6.3-rc7 kernel.
So far, so good.

The NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.182.03.run driver will not build with this kernel and I had to
update VirtualBox to a more recent test build.
So far, the nouveau driver is working fine with LuckyCyborg's kde4 packages running on -current.

Anyone knows which next kernel will be LTS?

Usually, it is the last kernel of the year. Often that is the fifth kernel of the calendar year, but there have been exceptions, as we saw this last year.
