It works just fine and I personally have not noticed issues regarding performance. In fact it makes my Mint faster I think.

I have seen no such difference in speed between kernel 5.4, 5.8 and 5.10-oem. What I have seen is better support for my system's hardware, resulting in fewerdmesg
errors and more accurate sensor reporting. If kernel 5.10 did offer a 25%+ perceptible increase then it would be splattered all over the news and people would be flocking to it in droves. I also see no such thing occurring.
As for what I think, I think opinion has no place in technical support unless a question necessarily implies that only an opinion is possible.
I disagree. In my experience with Linux Mint 20.10, the newest linux kernel IS making my pc faster. I would kill to have Windows 10 work as fast on my desktop as Mint 20.1 is with the latest kernel. Just based off of experience of course.
