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

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

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

In recent history, it's every 20 versions, iirc: 5.19, 6.0, ... , 6.19, 7.0
