> You could try to hold that version that works I think that means I will not get security updates, if there are any, which might be a problem. I think I've managed to stay at a more stable kernel now. Seems I was on something called HWE which download later kernels, that is now disabled I am on something called GA apparently. > Best alternative I've done is build your own, but I'm not doing that today. I've never done that but I have looked at it. Doesn't sound too hard. Edit a list of config options, have the config all be distro defaults to begin with then just change some of the options then run some commands to build and install. Getting updates to work fast when new kernel versions are available seems to be harder, but that also seems to be possible with scripts applying my custom config fields to a new kernel. I will try that at some point, especially on servers since most kernels (ALL kernels??) seems to be very bloated an contain stuff to work with desktop which makes no sense to me (maybe there are reasons besides lazyness).
