Linus Torvalds announced Linux kernel 6.18, featuring extensive driver and subsystem improvements including Thunderbolt support for Intel Wildcat Lake, USB dwc3 updates for Intel Nova Lake-S, fixes for network (RTL8127, sxgbe), display (AMD), IIO sensors (BMP280, ADXL355), CAN bus, storage, Ceph/AFS file systems, device mapper, power management, and memory management stability. The release wraps up with final-week bug fixes, and Torvalds noted the 6.19 merge window opens immediately, with potential scheduling shifts due to the maintainer summit and holidays possibly extending the cycle to rc8 and a February 2026 final release.
