Which Kernel to target when considering system stability?

The LTS kernels are updated often, because a lot of fixes are backported. For example, the 4.14 kernel already has 307 minor versions.

Just stick with the latest LTS kernel (6.1), if you want a bit more stability and don’t need features from 6.2. But in the end, if something works on a newer kernel, it’s just as good. Important fixes for regressions and security vulnaribilities will land on every supported kernel.
