    its usually new features added which 99% people would not require

    Mostly bug fixes in drivers, though there's also a mitigation for
    a security flaw with AMD's with this update.

    For example, there's a fix for Logitech C-270 cameras. Some fixes
    to SMB/CIFS. Some fixes for USB4 devices.

    You can see the changelog here:

    Yes. I just upgraded the Ubuntu box to 25.04 and it is up to the 6.14.0 kernel. I updated the Fedora 42 box today and it's 6.15.5. The Lubuntu
    laptop is 6.8.0. The RPi is 6.12.25. They all work. iirc the Ubuntu 24.10
    was 6.11.0.

    None of them are special needs children.
