XanMod has released coordinated kernel updates for its EDGE, MAIN, and LTS branches on October 30, 2026, which include significant io_uring concurrency fixes and an overhaul of the amateur-radio networking stack in the LTS version. The MAIN branch (7.2.14) features 54 out of 91 commits related to io_uring, while the LTS version (6.18.60) has 48 out of 115 commits focused on similar fixes, alongside various memory-safety improvements. The EDGE branch (7.3.1) is smaller, with 42 tracked commits, and includes cross-branch hardening, Bluetooth updates, and miscellaneous patches. XanMod aims to enhance Linux performance while maintaining a good desktop experience, but users should ensure compatibility with certain proprietary modules before updating to the latest kernels
