stylste It is not necessary , it is vital, in system that holds only one O.S. and receive kernel updates almost weekly ,
which is my case. It is not necessary in systems with more than O.S. installed on them , which i don't like and never
use.
Annnnnd you go right back to trying to explain to me a point of view I already acknowledged and understand. I would point out that the vast majority of our users have had no issues with the linux-current kernel over the past few years. It's only a small, vocal minority that have run into problems that we didn't catch before a Friday sync. Your assertion that this is "vital" is textbook confirmation bias and I won't give into it.
stylste There are many older posts on this forum where there is a piece of advice to people who have problems to install
LTS kernel. Does this shows something?
Yes, it shows me what I already know: having an LTS kernel is useful for allowing people to continue to use their system while we sort out regressions in the mainline kernel.
stylste When one installs Solus does he knows that there are different kernels and if so can he install what he wants.If later one install LTS kernel he does so not as a matter of choice but as a matter of need.
These polling results show the opposite. The majority of people who responded have installed linux-lts as a backup in-case of an issue with linux-current, not because they encountered one and needed to work around it.
stylste What i would like to have is one (1) stable kernel , i don't care how the name is , which will make my hardware operatable always.
And I want to end discrimination, poverty, world hunger, and to have a million dollars in my bank account when I wake up tomorrow. All of these things are more likely than a piece of software as large and complex as the Linux Kernel to be free of any bugs whatsoever. This kind of reliability has only been proven with formal verification of a fair few microkernel designs and even those don't have guarantees of any of the drivers or other software functioning perfectly.
stylste [Of topic
I have been using linux exclusively since 2004 and never had kernel problems until last year. That kind of problems
sometimes make me considering to switch to another O.S ]
If you are that easily swayed by buggy software, you will never find an operating system that works for you. It doesn't exist. While I agree that the 5.X series kernels have had more regressions than I would like to see, there's still an incredible amount of that code that continues to function without issue. Most of what we have seen are a few hiccups with drivers that were mostly resolved quickly or the odd breakage of bluetooth protocols and filesystems. Most of which Solus caught and fixed before the new kernel was released or within a few days of the problem being noticed, prompting an early sync to fix the problem.
Now, I've been very patient thus far in my responses to you and at this point, I would ask that unless you have further feedback about your specific experiences with the kernels that you wish to share, that you let other people take a turn responding. Otherwise, you have said your piece and I, personally, don't need to hear it repeated. Thank You.
