To be fair AMD recently had a bug where the 6000 series GPUs would sit at 96 mhz unless you set your refresh rate below 100hz and that also took a couple months to be fixed. I was randomly getting 20fps in every game until I managed to find this gitlab issue. It started in kernel 6.4 and wasn't fixed until 6.6 so I had to play at 90hz on my 165hz monitor for that whole span.
This is why LTS kernels are a good thing. I used 6.1 that entire time and didn't even know the issue existed on my 6700XT
I'm someone that likes to tinker and be on the bleeding edge, but I agree, LTS makes sense on hardware that is more than 6 months old or so.
Yeah, same reason I use LTS. Latest features are nice and all but I want a stable system for my everyday life.
LTS is no guarantee that there wont be bugs, 6.1 recently had a bug with NFS where it corrupted files.
I didn't say it was?
You do get fewer bugs, though, and equally frequent hotfixes
No you didnt, I was just trying to say that you're not safe either way.
Safety is a sliding scale. You're certainly safer than bleeding edge
