I Don't Care What Linux Kernel You Use

A casual opinion piece arguing that Linux kernel versions don't matter for the vast majority of users. The author shares their personal experience trying a custom kernel and noticing no difference in gaming or boot times. They push back against the culture of bragging about running the latest kernel version, noting that bleeding-edge kernels can introduce instability. The only legitimate reason to run the latest kernel is for brand-new hardware support. The takeaway: stick with LTS or a reasonably modern kernel and don't stress about version numbers.
