I did not saw new threads a lot, but I have a feeling that users have less issues with 5.13 than with 5.14. But I could be wrong.
Actually sort of terrible. For BTRFS installations and working under LiveCD with such partitions: https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page
The Btrfs code base is stable. However, new features are still under development. Every effort is made to ensure that it remains stable and fast at each and every commit. This rapid pace of development means that the filesystem improves noticeably with every new Linux release so it’s highly recommended that users run the most modern kernel possible.
But I do not know what exactly means under this “highly recommended”, I mean why in details.
So we met 2 incompatible approaches: to ship 5.13 as less buggy in general than 5.14, to have newest possible for btrfs partitions.
But
Now about 5.16 (rc3 currently).
AFAIK (almost sure), notification for rc-stage kernels are absent from MSM.
Users can know about them only by opening MSM manually, tech news, searching through repos, mhwd-kernel -la, etc. So no notification present for RC kernel versions.
What’s the difference to complain bad work of RC comparing to execution result of cd /; sudo rm -rf <star> by own wish?
Is it their choice/preference to run an RC, a -git package, any external executable file (such as How do I know what type of portable app I met?) or any command (I did a very stupid, stupid thing) or not?
It is bad case when somebody suggests something possibly dangerous without knowing what dependencies are (Mesa-git Update issue)
But RC kernel installation is not that case of such somebodies suggestion, yeah?
Users installed them by their own will ([Unstable Update] 2021-11-11 - Gnome 41.1, Xorg-Server 21.1, LxQt 1.0, Nvidia 470.86, Plasma 5.23.3 - #26 by alven)
