Kernel 7.0 didn't need to be a big deal. It went ahead and became one anyway.

    I’m suddenly seeing a lot of posts about kernel 7.0…

    There is nothing more special about 7.0 vs 6.19 or 6.18

    Going from 6.x to 7.x doesnt mean new features or anything special

      aren’t kernel versions literally vibes based? i recall hearing that Linus just declares a new major version when it feels right.

      I suggest reading the first paragraph, it addresses your point.
