From the view of one of the openSUSE forum moderators (and the other moderators may have a different view, as this is my private view wrt giving support) I am not particularly keen on seeing a kernel that is too old with openSUSE. Again , this comes from a forum support viewpoint.
Currently , I believe the openSUSE packagers have done a super job with their kernel management, ensuring openSUSE gets a new fairly recent and stable kernel every 9-months or so (timed to the new release).
This 'not too old' kernel has a significant advantage from a support point of view, which means new hardware support (that is not too ancient) is constantly fed into openSUSE. One does not often need to go to tumbleweed (to get a possibly less tested openSUSE kernel version) to obtain more recent hardware support from a newer kernel.
ie if SLE has an old kernel, I would be concerned that the hardware support for openSUSE would suffer. Reviewers/new-users installing openSUSE for the first time (who are not aware of Tumbleweed) could stumble and have problems here.
Would applying a Tumbleweed kernel be the only way to address such an older kernel concern ?

Hi, No, probably just add the Kernel:Stable to that install, just like nowadays. Regards, Luiz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
