Sticking with an LTS/Recommended kernel has served me well in Manjaro. Currently I'm running 5.4.95-1.
Last year I was running a 4.x kernel but I began having an issue with some piece of software (I forget) that, when I researched it found everybody recommending a switch to a 5.x kernel which fixed it immediately for me.
Switching kernels indeed is extremely easy!
- shrimp_emoji 6y agoYep, rolling back to 5.4 saved me. :p Just watch out for 5.10. Happily, 5.11 seems okay, but it's still experimental. Sticking to the LTS is a great idea, though part of me wants to go "Well then why not just run Ubuntu?! ;w;", despite having some answers. (Funnily, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS actually updates from 5.4 to 5.8. Apparently, the Ubuntu LTS doesn't stick to the LTS kernel now! Unless it never really did.)
