I didn't know that zypper keeps all installed kernels
I believe there is a setting someplace to tell it how many kernels to save. I believe someone upstream in this thread mentioned checking that setting to be sure the system is only maintaining the number of kernels you asked for.
Your statement there actually brings up an interesting point. Since I am using the kernel:stable repository, is it better to keep it always updating the kernel from that repository?
I don't know anything about that repository. It looks like it refers to Opensuse Build Service, but other than that I don't know where those kernels come from. You would not expect to see a kernel every week. Even on a rolling release they don't come that fast.
I was looking for kernel 4.11 for Opensuse earlier this month but decided to hold off till 42.3 and see what kernel that brings. (There are some interesting features in 4.11 with regard to swap on SSDs). Why hold off? Because right now this KDE/Plasma5 is one of the best versions I've seen in a long time. Stable as a rock, and fast. If we get 5.10 in 42.2 along with QT 5.9 it will be even faster.
Perhaps someone else can weigh in on the "officialness" of that particular repository.
I am glad to know that it has been stable for you, as that means that I only need to figure out where mine is not configured correctly and then it will work. I love KDE too for its features, but on my laptop, home desktop, and work desktop, I consistently have the kwin crash bug cause me problems. It is only on my laptop that I am using the advanced kernel, but that bug remains on the other 2 machines. -- George Box: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | 32GB Laptop #1: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | AMD FX 7TH GEN | 64 | 12GB Laptop #2: 42.2 | KDE Plasma 5.8 | Core i5 | 64 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
