> this argument that "LTS or distro kernels are stable" has never been true. It's been nothing but a very bad myth. It might have some mythical aspects, but if 10 000 people have run a certain kernel/FS combination without issue for a few months - you can reasonably expect that particular set of binary artifacts to work well if you install/run them in the same way. Now, if you change the sources, adjust the configs and compile flags - you can be less certain everything will work. That doesn't mean kernel.org kernels are unstable - it just means change drives risk (often justifiable risk).
