Was wondering what the difference is between real-time and LTS kernels.
LTS = long term support
Long-term support (LTS) is a product lifecycle management policy in which a stable release of computer software is maintained for a longer period of time than the standard edition. The term is typically reserved for open-source software, where it describes a software edition that is supported for months or years longer than the software's standard edition.
Short term support (STS) is a term that distinguishes the support policy for the software's standard edition. STS software has a comparativel...
Real Time Kernel = optimized for applications that need to be processed in real time
A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system (OS) intended to serve real-time applications that process data as it comes in, typically without buffer delays. Processing time requirements (including any OS delay) are measured in tenths of seconds or shorter increments of time. A real-time system is a time-bound system which has well-defined, fixed time constraints. Processing must be done within the defined constraints or the system will fail. They are either event-driven or time-sha...

Thank you for your answer, I understand it now.
Hi @AtlasOne ,
AFAIK Real-time kernels is for time-sensitive applications. Where you have to know exactly how long something will take.
LTS stands for L ong T erm Support and is supported for a longer period of time than the normal kernels. Thus a LTS kerneel can ALSO be a real-time kernel.
