So it seems that a new ISO with kernel 4.19 everywhere, should fix most of this troubles.
It might... except it would also _bring_ one big problem you seem to be ignoring (even if Stefan already hinted at it): finding a volunteer who would spend time on preparing such image and - even more important - keep maintaining the respective kernel branch.
Not to mention that if this hypothetical image kept following upstream stable-4.19.y, it would become (in your terms) "ancient" pretty soon anyway. Because even if stable branches receive a lot of patches which wouldn't be considered in the past, their aim still isn't backporting of new device drivers.
Having an image with Tumbleweed kernel would make way more sense - and would mean much less work.
Certainly, that makes sense :-) It would also be interesting for people with Leap installed that have to consider a new kernel for some reason or other. For instance, I have problems with hibernation and I may have to use the TW kernel. If it is a repo intended for Leap, it would be better for us: adding the whole TW repo has the risk of unintentionally upgrading things we should not. And using the other one... OBS Kernel:stable repo is not signed (no secure boot), and lack of KMP. And problems with Nvidia (Takashi Iwai said so). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
