Re: Monthly News – October 2019
I'm not sure if you were around when 18.2 was released, but IIRC the shipped HWE kernel went end of life about 10 days after release
So many forum questions resulted......
Having said that does Mint want to ship what will be a HWE-Edge kernel at point of release, rather than the current HWE kernel? Don't know.

I was not around, but I would submit that your third sentence should be answered by your second, don't you think? Mint should be about user friendliness, and shipping a nearly end-of-life kernel isn't it.smurphos wrote: ⤴Tue Nov 05, 2019 3:04 am I'm not sure if you were around when 18.2 was released, but IIRC correctly the shipped HWE kernel went end of life about 10 days after release

Re: Monthly News – October 2019
For me the whole thing is nothing more than an excuse for money donations. It also has an extremely nasty taste when all the critics of this project are called "trolls"!

Re: Monthly News – October 2019
How did somebody bringing a patent infringement claim based on a US-style lightweight software patent become "all the critics of this project"? Some might think you are putting on the troll shoes yourself here.David Chiang wrote: ⤴Tue Nov 05, 2019 6:52 amFor me the whole thing is nothing more than an excuse for money donations.
