I am used to using only the latest LTS kernel from previous systems, since I have somewhat older hardware. In addition, I installed the previous LTS kernel as a fallback. Now this is no longer possible with Endeavour. So I currently have the mainline kernel (5.13) in use and the LTS kernel (5.10) as fallback. But I have to get used to this latest kernel (which I don’t really need with my old hardware). So, what would be the best solution: permanently use the LTS and ignore the mainline or permanently use the mainline kernel?
