A, 14.04 was released earlier this month and is no longer beta.

In any case, trying a live CD or live USB stick does not touch your existing installation. You boot from the installation media and experiment there, not touching your hard drive.

If you find a newer kernel works for you, you can move to a newer kernel and stick with 12.04 if you wish - each Ubuntu release typically offers some alternative (newer) kernels.

FWIW I am super happy with 14.04.
