You know it's not that hard to debunk this:
> You'll then be left with a kernel-6.X.? directory, containing both an unpatched 'vanilla-6.X.?' dir, and a linux-6.X.?-noarch hardlinked dir which has the Fedora patches applied. [1]
WOW fedora patches! Sounds to me like they're not shipping vanilla.

- megous 3y agoThat's not what my original argument was about. So not sure what you're debunking. I have problem with backaptching 10s of thousands of changes to years old kernels by people who don't really understand the changes or consequences, like 5.4, 5.15, 6.1 or whatever. Not patching up 6.6 or 6.7 kernel with a few out of tree patches, where they mostly understand what they're doing and can test the limited set of changes they're applying.
