🪨 Long Release

This release is only available on Long (5) branches (sodalite/long-5/<arch>/<edition>).

You should opt to stick with the latest release on the Current branch and avoid sticking with an older version. However, if that release is causing problems (e.g. problematic drivers, outdated packages, update conflicts you are unwilling to resolve currently, etc.), 5.x will continue to be updated until its end-of-life. At that point, it is vital you update to a more modern version.

See README ➔ Branches ➔ Long for more information.
