And Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is using 6.8.

Ubuntu releases a new version every six months, but an LTS — which is probably what most people run in production — only every two years. Debian releases come out every two years.

So if you only run Ubuntu LTS, the release cadence is the same as Debian.

I think you're forgetting about Ubuntu 26.04 (LTS) that is using kernel 7.0.

Which only came out a few months ago, and which only recently released its .1, so the do-release-upgrade message only recently appeared for most people.

I'd be interested to know how many folks have changed their current production over to 26TLS in the last six months. I'm guessing not a lot.

So yes, there is a newer LTS, but what is its current market share as compared to 24 TLS (or even 22LTS)?

Ubuntu releases its LTSes in even years, and Debian does its releases in odd years:
