Can someone explain to me how and when such a patch would make it into distros? For instance I'm running Debian 12, I'm guessing this won't get added since they just released 13, so this will be put in to version 14 at some point? Or are kernel updates seperate from the distribution development?

    This probably won’t have much impact for most use cases, though.

    Yeah, I'm assuming it only affects operations on exFAT systems.

    It really varies by the distro's policies. If it gets into 6.18, for most distributions that means the next release that hasn't had its version freeze will get it. For Ubuntu and its variants, if there are release candidates of 6.18 at the time of the kernel freeze for 25.10 then 25.10 will probably get it. Otherwise we'll have to wait for 26.04.
