A dedicated server costs money!

Game company: "Why don't you give that money to us and we will give you a server?"

If you spend a little time on the dark alleyways of Steam, you will occasionally come up with hidden gems. The indies scene is currently thriving.

I have been using Linux for nearly a decade and I'm too scared to try Arch. It's not for beginners.

What OP is doing is trying to learn how to drive a car on a busy highway with an instructor on the phone. It's not going to be pretty.

So just like abuse, it’s a slow process of tearing little barriers down of what is acceptable

The classic "slow boiling frog experiment" is quintessential to the enshittification process

~~AI will take our jobs~~

AI will create more jobs because there will be dedicated staff who needs to handle the fallout when it does stupid shit

 

I am using a Dell Latitude 3420 (Ubuntu 22.04.3) and it uses a slightly older OEM kernel 5.14.0-1048-oem. The generic kernels keep getting upgraded but are never used. The current generic that I have is 6.2.0-26-generic and 5.15.0-79-generic.

So I have 2 questions

  1. Should I leave the kernel as it is? Some threads online say it's better to leave it as it is as an OEM kernel is better for Ubuntu-certified laptops
  2. If I should change the kernel, what would be the best way? I don't want to hard-code the kernel version.
    • If I have issues in the latest generic kernel, I should be able to roll-back to the OEM kernel.
