Just wanted to report that upgrade from 6.0 LTS to 7.0 LTS was seamless. Thank you, for your amazing work @stgraber and all contributors

In case anyone is wondering, Incus 7.0 is now available in Debian 13 Trixie via backports (mostly thanks to @gibmat as usual 
).

There is some slightly conflicting information regarding the system requirements and hopefully there is a definitive answer.
Implies 7.0 LTS will not work on 22.04:
- In the news post the minimum kernel is listed as Linux 6.12
- Per Ubuntu kernel lifecycle there is no combination of 22.04 that has a 6.12 kernel
Implies 7.0 LTS will work on 22.04:
- In this post it is said “decent chance your kernel will be fine” but does not confirm
- When adding zabbly repositories for Ubuntu, 22.04, 7.0+ is offered, why build if it would not run
apt list -a incus
Listing… Done
incus/jammy 1:7.1-ubuntu22.04-202605311452 amd64
incus/jammy 1:7.1-ubuntu22.04-202605301826 amd64
incus/jammy 1:7.0-ubuntu22.04-202605301827 amd64
incus/jammy 1:7.0-ubuntu22.04-202605121920 amd64
Is it correct to say that 7.0 LTS will definitely work on 22.04 but you are running unsupported?
(will function, cannot buy support, cannot submit bugs)
Because Zabbly also provides kernel and ZFS packages.
This is some great information especially for installations with uniquely specific requirements but it does not actually answer the question of “will 7.0 LTS work on unmodified 22.04” as 6.2x versions do.
Running on a kernel that’s outside of what Incus lists as a requirement is unsupported.
That doesn’t mean it will instantly crash or anything, but Incus 7.0 has removed a lot of legacy fallback logic so some features may just break or get invalid or partial data due to hitting kernel issues on those older versions.
