    Depends on the distro. Fedora is a general purpose distro and usually pushes out new kernel releases (6.19 for example) after about 4 weeks. This means the initial bugs have been fixed and it’s stable for general purpose use. If you want the latest release it’s easy:

    sudo dnf upgrade kernel --enablerepo=updates-testing

    The Fedora Koji build system has the latest version in testing.

    You can also build your own.

    Don’t make the mistake of thinking 7.0 will be any more special than 6.19 or 6.20 etc. They’re just release numbers and when Torvalds thinks the point number is big enough the first number is incremented.
