XanMod has released new stable builds for its Linux kernel, with the MAIN branch featuring Linux 7.2.12 and both the LTS and RT branches using version 6.18.58. The MAIN build introduces enhancements such as cache-aware scheduling, a revised GPU scheduler, and improvements to Btrfs, while the LTS version focuses on long-term stability and includes a real-time PREEMPT_RT option. Users are advised to verify compatibility with proprietary DKMS modules like NVIDIA and VMware before upgrading, as these may not support the latest kernel versions. Both releases include critical backported security fixes, making upgrading beneficial for users, especially those on Debian-based distros seeking improved performance

XanMod Releases Linux 7.2.12 and 6.18.58 Kernels for x86-64

XanMod shipped fresh stable builds across all three of its branches, with MAIN riding Linux 7.2.12 and both LTS and RT following 6.18.58. Each release was personally tagged by solo maintainer Alexandre Frade and built on the latest upstream updates curated by Greg Kroah-Hartman. The MAIN build brings cache-aware scheduling, a revised GPU scheduler, and Btrfs gains, while the 6.18.58 LTS line offers longer-term stability plus a real-time PREEMPT_RT option. Both bundles include backported security fixes, but XanMod warns that proprietary DKMS modules like NVIDIA, OpenZFS, and VMware Workstation may need to be verified before upgrading.
