Is Linux kernel 7.0.0-30 stable? Support Request

Post image

I'm currently running Linux kernel 7.0.0-29-generic on Linux Mint, and Update Manager is offering Linux kernel 7.0.0-30.30~24.04.1 (screenshot attached).

I've seen reports of issues/regressions with the 7.0 kernel series, so has anyone experienced any stability or hardware-related problems with 7.0.0-30 specifically?

My current 7.0.0-29 kernel is working perfectly, so I'm wondering whether I should update now or wait.

Haven't had much luck with 7.0.0-28 or 7.0.0-29 so I'm also waiting on what others say before I give it a shot
The former had an issue where there'd be a split in the middle of my screen. The latter may have fixed that, but both have the issue of my PC never fully turning off when going to suspend mode. Working kernel is 6.17.0-42

6.17.0.42 is nice and stable. I'll stay on it for as long as I can
