JoshStrobl Thank you for the clarification.
I will see if/how I may help test the future LTS then.

Saijin_Naib In further testing against current (5.6) on my HP EliteBook 2740p, I find that the issue with suspend/resume remains, and in addition, I am subject to random hard-freezes during usage/idling. Performance seems better than LTS, and accessory/peripheral functionality is solid.
The freeze seems to occur typically within 30min of boot and leads to the system being entirely unresponsive, requiring a hard reset via the power switch.
Given what I have access to, I'd say that maybe the 4.19 branch might be safer for this vintage hardware, given my issues with 5.6 currently.
i clicked others ( I want latest kernel supporting latest hardware). I wish Solus team uploads 5.9 kernel soon

It's not going to be 5.9, it'll be 5.10 because that is what fixes NVMe issues, per the many discussions here.
And, itβs probably no secret in this forum, 5.10 is expected to be released this upcoming weekend.
The most fun part of Solus is " It's fast, snappy with latest updates and also sometimes some funny things that doesn't work or sometimes one just need more support" and its all done fine.
Validated 5.10-rc7 locally on both my desktop and laptop, I've already updated our linux-current locally for it (previously was using our internal linux-next builds), went through and patched all the kernel modules where necessary (namely NVIDIA graphics drivers and VirtualBox). 5.10 is expected to come out Sunday U.S. (Monday here in Finland), so assuming that happens as scheduled I'll get it landed in unstable on Monday.
Linux 5.10, as well as updates to firmware, nvidia-390-glx-driver, open-vm-tools, openrazer, and virtualbox are now in the unstable repo. Assuming no blockers, should get landed into the stable repo this Friday. If you use the unstable repo, we encourage you to update and test!
So this new kernel has fsync support ? I read the changelog but I dont understand very much
gsf Reading item 1.2 from https://kernelnewbies.org/LinuxChanges makes it sound like you need to reformat a partition with a particular flag to get this feature.

5.10 exhibits the same issues with suspend/resume as the 5.6 branch kernel on my EliteBook 2740p, but positive aspects regarding performance/responsiveness/connectivity are also the same.
So, mostly works, but random locks and can't suspend/resume/hibernate.
Likely upstream issue? Out of scope due to older hardware (1st gen i5-540m)?
Upgraded my 2 virtual systems (one Budgie, one KDE) using the unstable repo. Upgrade, reboot and login went fine. The initial reboot seemed to take longer than normal, but could have been due to workloads on the host ESXi system.
5.10.1 has already been released to address bugs due to the storage code: Phoronix
sothis6881 5.10.1 is now in the Unstable repo.
Thanks @DataDrake! (And @JoshStrobl, for 5.10.0 )

5.10.1-161 works with suspend/resume and otherwise doesn't seem to be unstable under normal usage unlike 5.10.0 and 5.6.x!
Thanks so much!

I find it hard to believe that 5.10.1 would magically work but not 5.10.0 seeing as 5.10.1 fixes two issues which were in regards to specific raid configurations and had nothing to do with suspend / resume.

Me as well, but I've just tested it multiple times.
As of now I only needed to switch to the LTS kernel for a small bluetooth problem (posted in the support section). Other than that, I guess I will just keep it as a backup. Current is working fine for me since I guess two years by now. So thanks for all the effort!
gsf Yea but not valve's fsync
