- iririririr 17d agoYou'd be surprised how many things you use daily that people still backport the bare minimum to clig to 2.4.x forever
- anitil 17d agoYeah I've seen plenty of kernels that start with a 2 with no forward path possible due to "we don't know how to get our driver working anymore"
- mrheosuper 17d agoI really hope those don't have access to any networks.
- iririririr 17d agogood chance the linux running in your high end phone's modem runs 2.x kernel. i dont deal with that anymorrle, but last one I saw with 2.x was the pixel 6 pro.
- mrheosuper 17d agoJust check, my 2YO phone runs kernel 6.6, not latest but i think good enough for production. Edited: I misunderstood what you mean, you were talking about the modem subsystem, sorry.
- 306bobby 16d agoI don't think you misunderstood, I think they're talking out their arse. Modems don't run Linux, they run RTOS operating systems. ShannonOS in the case of the Pixel 6 with a exynos modem
- 306bobby 16d agoThe pixel 6 pro runs ShannonOS an RTOS system, it's an exynos modem
- 306bobby 16d agoTo be fair if you could SLTS support by CIP (which is designed for things like this) you have 4.19 at least still maintained. 4.4 might still be too but I'd have to check
