The choice of old kernels in Leap is due to the decision to base those versions on what is used in SLE. In the "old" days, merely checking the kernel version using a couple of macros was sufficient to determine the code to use when the kernel had changed; however, that puts the SUSE and openSUSE developers in a bind. After all, even users that want the stability and maintenance contracts of SLE need to be able to run on new hardware. As a result some drivers and other kernel changes need to be borrowed from kernels newer than 5.3, a process called backporting. Oracle releases their code with some changes to handle the backporting found for Ubuntu and Fedora. Unfortunately, openSUSE is too small to get their attention, thus that job falls on me, the maintainer. I hope I have answered your questions and concerns. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
