My system is running just fine again, everything seems stable. For my normal
use, which doesn't require internet too much, I can probably put this off at
least for a few more months.
But I wonder, is it possible for me to upgrade the kernel, or to get
up-to-date security patches, while still using daedalus as an oldstable
release?
Generic wikipedia says Daedalus will be supported until 2028?
Devuan page list it as "maintained" so I think this includes updating kernel (within 6.1 branch)?
I poked package website and packages for 5.0 seems to be last updated 30 oct 2025?
May be ask on their mail list about support status?
