Anyone running Kernel version 6? I just updated the kernel on this Fedora 36 desktop and was surprised to see it at version 6. So far it has been stable. I was having issues with 5.18 and 5.19 on my system.

Linus Torvalds:
(So, as is hopefully clear to everybody, the major version number
change is more about me running out of fingers and toes than it is
about any big fundamental changes.

But of course there's a lot of various changes in 6.0 - we've got over
15k non-merge commits in there in total, after all, and as such 6.0 is
one of the bigger releases at least in numbers of commits in a while.)

Better CPU energy efficiency is one of good features of it.

System Name Never trust a socket with less than 2000 pins
I decided on 5.15.x for now.

One thing that keeps me off high version number Linux kernels are the damned NVidia drivers. You never know what the newest Linux kernel is that they support (they don't document it). A few times I went through the trouble of first making a kernel and then trying the NVidia drivers, only to be disappointed.
