Right but I feel like you're missing the point of the article, since the latest version of something as long running as the linux kernel is unlikely to be flakey.
- dathinab 5y agoIt's not that simple. I'm using pure Arch Linux since ~8 years by know and for me it's the best suited distro. BUT two times after a kernel update my system didn't boot because of some bug in the kernel. Sure, not a problem for me, I can just boot the recovery system, downgrade the kernel temporary and all is fine (and the bug gets fixed fast). But still, even the latest stable release of the Linux kernel sometimes has problems (through that where the only problems I ever ran into with the kernel and it was at the vendored-efi<->linux boundary, and now that I think about it it might have been efistub, so maybe not even there kernel). Anyway I have in general less problems with software not working on arch then I had on ubuntu.
- Mikeb85 5y agoLol the Linux kernel is super flakey. But it moves quick enough it gets fixed when it does flake out.
