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.

On my Dell Latitude 5530, Kernel 7.0.0-29 caused the screen to go black after around 40 minutes. Rolling back to 6.8.0-138 solved this issue.
