BorgLabs - Kate Draven scripsit:
I agree with Nik, unless there is some burning reason I need the latest and
greatest (5.x), then for anything resembling 'production' use, I stick with a
proven LTS. I consider whatever I run my email on as 'production' use, as it
has all my business correspondence on it...
On the other hand, if you can legitimately lose everything and have the time
to restore backups, then it is fun to be running the latest and greatest...
Best Kate,

HI
I would like everyone's opinion on this.
I'm trying figure out the benefits of either staying with the LTS kernel
or with the lastest kernel. The machines are every day use and stability
is important.
Am I tossing away any benefits, of the latest kernel, if I use the
4.8x/9x kernel. Or do the benefits of the 5.1x kernel out weigh any
instability?
I'd like all schools of thought.
Just my 2ยข: If you are not running into any issue with the old/stable
kernel, why change? Is somthing in 5.XX, that you miss now? You might get
bitten by something like the thinkpad_acpi-spaming-dmesg-issue as happened
to me. Is the 5.XX packaged with your distribution? If not, then I would
not do it (well, I maybe would on my testmachine, but not on something
that's not in my instant reach).
