 |

Hi everybody.
Only to know.
I'm using well gentoo-sources-4.14.15 which is out of portage.
What version are you using? Considering any version above 4.9 is set stable.
Many thanks.
Andrea

| If 4.14.15 works for you then just update to 4.14.36. |

Sorry and thank you, thank you and sorry, but why not 4.17.37 as per https://www.kernel.org/? My humble thought.

Did you mean 4.14.37 instead of 4.17.37? |

Oh yes. Of course.

Probably because 4.14.37 wasn't yet in portage tree (added 30 hours ago)

| Indeed I don't retroactively update version numbers in my posts. |

Which is the theory behind kernel version stabilisation choice? is the last long-term version a good choice?

| In general what works well for your hardware is a good choice, beyond that you do not have to care about using the latest kernel branch *as long as* it is receiving frequent updates to fix security and other issues. So any long-term version is a natural choice, if your hardware allows for that choice. |
