Linux Kernel 3.14 Reached End of Life, Users Urged to Move to Linux 4.4 LTS

Well, it looks like the Linux kernel maintainers decided that there’s no need to maintain the Linux kernel 3.14 LTS series anymore, so on September 11, 2016, they decided to release that last maintenance update, version 3.14.79, and mark the series as EOL (End of Life). Famous Linux kernel maintainer Greg Kroah-Hartman was the one to make the big announcement, and he’s urging users who want to still run a long-term supported kernel version to move to the Linux 4.4 LTS series, which is currently the most advanced LTS branch, or use the lastest stable release, Linux kernel 4.7.3.
