LTS means that the kernel will not recieve new features, but will receive security patches. Thus remaining stable with no breaking changes.

90% of android device manufacturers will drop in one kernel at launch day and then never, ever, ever touch it again. Fuck security, fuck the user.

okay, so it seems as though disregarding android usage of LTS seems reasonable because whilst it shouldn’t be this way, nothing will actually change

Yeah android devices are a weird beast. They use Linux in name, but not in spirit, since the entire system is locked off from the typical user.

Android is the evil version of Linux or the anti-Linux if you will.

What you're referring to as anti-Linux is, in fact, anti-GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, anti-GNU plus anti-Linux...

Root + Unlock BL + Custom ROM be like: Am I a fucking joke to you?
