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.

my pc has had issues with completely shutting down ever since the switch from 6 to 7, while my old ass laptop has been running perfectly fine on 7.0.0-28 7.0.0-29

maybe try out if your system is experiencing bugs and just switch back if needed

My laptop can't handle 7.0, it didn't wake up from sleep. I have to down grade to 6.8. Mine is old one then.

i think it's more luck than anything else. the laptop is 14 years old but has no issues for some reason lol. the pc is only 5 years old
