LTS kernel users should begin testing the current kernel to make sure that it works on their systems! We will be thinking about updating our LTS kernel to the next LTS branch in the next few months. The earlier issues are found, the earlier they can be fixed! If you encounter a problem, please file an issue on our tracker: https://github.com/getsolus/packages/issues/new?assignees=&labels=Bug&projects=&template=report-a-bug.yml
I have been gaming since 1992 and building PCs since 2003. I enjoy Linux, supporting FOSS projects and am a tinfoil hat connoisseur.
Many FOSS projects rely on donations. If you have money to spare but don't know which to donate to take a look at the above links on Ko-fi, Github, and Open Collective. Anything on there that I have sponsered or contributed to is something I have found to be worthy.
