regular readers will recall that I've mentioned before: I'm on 13.1 and few leading repositories, one of which is Kernel_Stable. I've just upgraded to 4.5 and yes it is an improvement in many ways. The whole 4.x series has been pretty goo, each step along the way being in improvements, particularly with locking and blocking in the kernel, that result in better responsiveness. Discussion of same at http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux-45-features&num=1 "The Many New Features & Improvements Of The Linux 4.5 Kernel" I'm looking forward to 4.6 :-) Given the stability of 13.1 (and its tumbling) and the continual teething troubles reported here with LEAP, I'm staying with this configuration for the foreseeable future. I'd advise anyone who has the spare resources or inclination to try the 4.x series kernels. At the very least, they have updates to BtrFS that offer stability an improvement over the 3.x series. Relevant to recent threads here: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Btrfs-Pull-Linux-4.5 Of course that may not apply to desktop systems There's enough happening to make me consider actually forgetting about the palaeolithic hardware I normally spend time tweaking and hacking and getting a bleeding edge mobo and chipset. But then again, just having a fast desktop might be no fun :-( -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
