current updating and kernel
by dubiousa from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CZJN)
Hi guys,
i have a simple question. I really wanna keep my current system new, so i run the update process regulary.
Question - do i have to update all kernels or is it ok to upgrade everything and leave the kernel/module/header version be?
today, i do have kernel 5.10.7
https://slackware.pkgs.org/current/slackware-x86_64/
but my mirror already has kernel-headers 5.10.8
so i realised better leave that 3 packages be and wait till the same version is available. Is this viable?
How often do you update your current system?
Do you update the new kernel every time?

EDIT: updated, restarted on kernel/modules/headers 5.10.6 with all new updated packages - seems to work fine.
Thanks!
