You'd be surprised how many things you use daily that people still backport the bare minimum to clig to 2.4.x forever
I really hope those don't have access to any networks.
good chance the linux running in your high end phone's modem runs 2.x kernel.
i dont deal with that anymorrle, but last one I saw with 2.x was the pixel 6 pro.
Just check, my 2YO phone runs kernel 6.6, not latest but i think good enough for production.
Edited: I misunderstood what you mean, you were talking about the modem subsystem, sorry.
I don't think you misunderstood, I think they're talking out their arse. Modems don't run Linux, they run RTOS operating systems. ShannonOS in the case of the Pixel 6 with a exynos modem
The pixel 6 pro runs ShannonOS an RTOS system, it's an exynos modem
Yeah I've seen plenty of kernels that start with a 2 with no forward path possible due to "we don't know how to get our driver working anymore"
