| Does it come with the latest Linux kernel? |

| Depends whether you go with Tumbleweed, Slowroll, or Leap. I believe the Kernel Of The Day repository is only available for Tumbleweed. By 'latest' kernel you did mean bleeding edge nightly builds, right? |

| ▲ | pdimitar 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | No, I mean latest non-RC kernel (currently 6.18). I want to have VMs that are kind of like Arch but a little bit more stable, yet have very latest versions of everything I need with minimal risk (no need for the bleeding edge at all times; Manjaro does this semi-okay with its two weeks grace period). | | |
| ▲ | skydhash 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Latest also means latest bugs. So unless you’re waiting for some drivers for your hardware, I’m not sure that it’s really needed for general usage. | | |
| ▲ | pdimitar 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I don't need 100% of all software. Just a tiny fraction and they're modern tools that are heavily iterated on. Is it possible they have bugs? Very much so! But "stay on an older version to be safe" is not the panacea many try to pretend that it is. Way too many bugs and security vulnerabilities on old versions as well. | | |
| ▲ | skydhash an hour ago | parent [-] | | If you’re on debian, there’s the backports repository, And stable means stable in terms of feature. They still patches for bugs and security, and quite fast for the latter. |
