Why upgrade the Linux Kernel?
by Arct1c_f0x from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56GXW)
I use Debian Buster, Kali, and Ubuntu.
I've been upgrading my Debian Kernel versions to 5.6 and everything's working fine.
But I realize that I just upgraded them without knowing specifically why doing so would help my systems...
So now I'm asking all of you that question here in this thread:
Why should you upgrade your Linux Kernel?
If I used any incorrect terminology in this thread please correct me. The reason I'm posting this thread is because I just want to learn more and expand my knowledge of how these systems work.
Thanks in advance for your time and info!
