But really, does it even matter? Arch keeps the modules in the repo up to date, including patching them when necessary for newer kernels. Again, if you want to run an old version that Arch doesn't maintain, that part is up to you. Maybe check what Arch does? Or see if upstream has patches? > Additionally, > > This is not an old version. 6.1.46 was released July 31, 2023, less than > 30 days ago. Nobody cares if its lts/still supported, 6.1 is an old version; end of story. Even upstream lists it under "Old Builds". Arch is on 7.0 and maintains that. If you don't want to use that, it's on you. And 6.1.46 was July 18th, not 31st, and is only supported for a few more months. Doug
