WireGuard + Multi-Path TCP Were Merged Tonight Into Linux 5.6

[rgloor]

Hey, Tumbleweed is not that bad. .

I know it's not bad. Far from that.
According to all I read in all those forums I use, it might be the most stable rolling release around.

However, I feel, that LEAP might still be a bit more stable. (Hence not always having the latest and greatest versions.) And since I use my machine about 10-15+ hrs a day in a productive environment, I don't want risking having a stalled system or urgently used app.

If I got some more time to experiment, I might setup a second computer for some testing with Tumbleweed. And then decide.

Sorry...I have to run now. Cheers.

No need to excuse yourself lol. This is a forum, not a chat. Feel free to answer again a day later or not answer again at all, it's fine.

On the other hand: If wireguard is properly backported to older kernels, the chances might be higher, that wireguard will be implemented in existing / running devices like Firewalls.

wouldn't it be better to port those devices to newer kernel?

[pal666]

I choose openSUSE LEAP for stability purpose.

chose distro which doesn't have to wait for new release to update kernel

I'm happy enough with Wireguard being mainlined. Don't get greedy with this backporting business.
