I'd still like to know where (what repository) one finds a opensuse 4.11 or 4.12 kernel that might work in 42.2 or 42.3.
There are some amazing swap handling improvements scheduled to arrive in any kernel 4.11 or later, which really are supposed to make major improvements when swap is on an SSD. (to the point of making swap desirable again). Well, if you want a repo you could use Kernel-HEAD (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard/) That is bleeding edge though...
When I needed a more recent one for one of my Leap machines I went for the TW one, but without adding the repo. Just downloaded the relevant rpms and installed them. But you'd have to watch for security issues yourself.
Should also be possible to add the TW repo and only install the kernel from there, and then disable again so you don't get wrong packages by accident...
Please, don't even suggest such things. Why break consistency, intergrity of a system's repos. And make it a completely manual operation that no one understands but you. If I was asked to maintain such a system, the answer would be No. -- Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a.
