Was Fedora always so unstable? - eviltoast

I was on Ubuntu for a year. No major issues, although I used the interim releases, which are supposed to be less solid than LTS. Then, a couple of months ago, I decided to switch to Fedora, just out of curiosity. Many people stated how Fedora is rock solid, Fedora is the new Ubuntu, etc. First some rpmfussion updates broke mesa, then the ostree update broke Flatpak, and recently there was a broken kernel 6.3.11 update that affected some AMD users. A few days ago, I updated my kernel to 6.3.12, and I got frequent freezes on boot. Other users are also reporting such issues. So now I boot with an older kernel. Which is not optimal. There is no LTS kernel on Fedora, the old kernel version doesn’t receive security updates. Was it always like that, or it’s an unusual bad phase.

    There are LTS Kernel from Red Hat Employee, you can install it via https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/kwizart/kernel-longterm-5.15/

    If you really need that in long term, well, give him some coffee via paypal, haha…

    JK, but it’s the well known long time best LTS kernel repo in copr. Just not directly endorsed by Fedora as fedora is bleeding edge, when it mean bleeding edge, then any kernel update could break the driver, as the driver is built in into the kernel.
