I'm new to using a Linux-based OS as my primary - do you all generally stay on the latest and greatest? I setup 4.9.9 recently on my XPS DE. Is it risky at time

I'm new to using a Linux-based OS as my primary - do you all generally stay on the latest and greatest? I setup 4.9.9 recently on my XPS DE. Is it risky at times to upgrade?
- antod 10y agoJust leave it to your distro. Don't bother with it yourself.
- exclusiv 10y agoI did it myself for the power improvements for battery life. I'm on 16.04. Is it risky to have a newer kernel than what the distro provides?
- antod 10y agoIt's not really riskier, just more effort than it's worth IMO. Note that there will (or soon should) be some newer HWE kernels for 16.04 out.
