Installed and tested on Xenial. Working well and as expected. The 6.18 RC8 is installed but untested at my end so will report back when I've completed this.

Thank you for your help with testing.

Some people would say a long-term kernel should last a long time. But that's just me.

On that note that latest 6.18 RC8 boots and works well on Mate and Debian. In fact, it's been working so well, it's almost been a "boring" experience testing it.

Thank you for testing.
