> The modus operandi should be to get upgrades to the current stable kernel frequently enough How can you expect embedded manufactures to do this when Intel can't even keep it's CPU line stable on recent kernels. I have an Bay Trail tablet that I put Linux on, but was forced to move it back on to the ancient Android kernel that shipped with it because of this bug[1]. And if you think, these bugs only happen to Atom/Celron CPUs, think again. My Intel i3 laptop just started hard freeing with the latest 4.13 Kernel in Arch.[2] As a hobbyist, i can deal, but there is no way you can expect small manufactures to deal with the constant influx of bugs introduced by kernel updates.
