You should use the kernel that comes with the distribution you install, and is updated by the distro through its update repository -- unless you have hardware that is not supported by the normal kernel. That is the only real reason you would want another kernel. (there are some other reasons you want to look at a real-time kernel, etc.., but primarily, it is a hardware support consideration)
I have CPU AMD Ryzen 5 1400 and GPU Radeon MX 570 - that's why I was using KOTD earlier but now I stayed with kernel that comes with Leap 15.1 and it runs ok. Question is if I'm going to miss some features, performance?
Bottom line is unless you have bleeding-edge hardware (or older hardware that just had support added to the new kernel), or have some unique setup, you will not notice any difference in changing kernels, though there is always benefit in the learning exercise.
I used to do Gentoo install but it was like years ago :P -- Cheers, MM -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
