If you want it any hotter then there is also Debian unstable. You can set up your repositories to include stable, testing and unstable, and have APT default to using testing. It will allow you to use a wider range of software versions.
It is ok to avoid Debian by the way. It is a great distro and Debian testing is often good enough, but one can get an edge from using other distros. I prefer Debian because I have been using it since Sarge (and earlier did I use Slackware). Knowing Debian makes it easy for me to work with any Debian-based distro. I then do not to miss anything whenever I come across Ubuntu, Armbian, Raspberry Pi OS, or any other Debian-based distro. I always feel right at home.

Is java really not in stable backports? Seems like it would be a prime candidate for backports.
Edit: I guess not. Surprising. Stretch got java backports.Last edited by extremesquared; 25 July 2021, 04:04 AM.

Be careful you may lose your GPU.
Arch Linux which uses 5.13 also been affected by this.Last edited by piorunz; 25 July 2021, 09:05 AM.

The point is that a fully preemptible kernel will always prioritize user-space software, which is what really matters for any (you guessed it) user!
Once you've switched over and then look back, you'll realize (and probably also 'feel') the difference!
What's really sad though is that even among Linux users there are so few of us that seem to care about this... (Just take a look @ https://www.protondb.com/)
Anyway, here is at least a quote from another satisfied "lowlatency" renegade that I could find:
Maybe one day all other Linux believers will see the light, too!
I also used the low latency kernel and never noticed any differences, unless you make music then in that case it makes sense. I don't know why Google does this and it will have its reasons for doing so, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's better for general use.
But I bet that if I secretly install the vanilla kernel you don't realize it, you will understand it just by looking at the version.

Tell me, why does [in your opinion the inferior distro] Ubuntu offer me the option of a "lowlatency" kernel, while Debian gives me only one officially supported Linux kernel choice?
(250 Hz + only voluntary preemption, i.e. "highlatency")
