    that sounds like something someone who runs a botnet would say.

        There's some good stuff for AMD guys in there, but given the bugs in the last few releases (EXT4 bug comes to mind) I'm in no hurry to upgrade.

          There are plenty supported pre 5.0 kernels and will be for years to come.

          But you do know that more functionality and security mitigations do cost performance? But whatever.

          Kernel performance ain't that big of a problem. It's not a relevant disadvantage compared to other OSes and neither do a lot of people seem to care or complain. Have you considered contributing?

            it matters a great deal... maybe not for general desktop workloads but for gaming and server performance it goes the down the drain.

              In case you misunderstood, I haven't said performance doesn't matter. But there is absolutely no issue with the kernel's performance for serious gaming. And with Linux still being the top choice for servers, your argument is invalid.

                True, the kernel performs well enough for gaming... its just other stuff that causes problems
