The version really doesn't matter to me.

The Linux Cast

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.

I Don't Care What Linux Kernel You Use

I care about getting the latest for reasons of security

wait people actually brag about using the latest linux kernel? Nerds.

real af to me ,people get way too caught up in the kernel hype train when lts is literally fine for 99% of builds. unless you’re daily driving hardware that came out last week, chasing version numbers is just asking for a broken system for no reason. the placebo effect with custom kernels is crazy tomost of the time you won’t even notice a difference outside of a benchmark. glad someone’s finally saying it.
