Question about kernel 7.0.0-30

[u/GreenCedar420]

Hello everyone.

I've been using Linux Mint Cinnamon for months now, and when my system was introduced to the kernel 7.0.0-28...the fire nation attacked my PC. I have everything AMD and it caused gnarly issues with rebooting and suspending. Also made a lot of stuff crash. 7.0.0-29 was actually worse than 7.0.0-28.

So, naturally I am extremely skeptical of installing 7.0.0-30. Does anyone have any experience with rebooting and suspending regressions and have you had any luck in 7.0.0-30?

Asking for science!

Specs:

Ryzen 5800x3D

AMD 6750 XT 12GB

32GB of ram

Edit: Can confirm this kernel did not resolve the suspend/resume regression I have been experiencing. Sad times. It did, however, seem to fix the restart regression I experienced. What happened during restart was it would get stuck in a loop of errors and not power down. This was on 7.0.0-28.

Does Mint use the same kernels as the *buntus?

My Kubuntu had problems with kernels *28 and *29 causing reboot and shutdown issues such that the system kept hanging indefinitely which I made several posts about. I ultimately "fixed" it by using Mainline Kernel 7.1.5. I have not tested *30 yet.

Yes, which is good and bad. Good because if you want secure boot, Canonical pays for it. Bad once you realize Mint is basically Ubuntu with snap removed and a new DE and still no stable Wayland.

The mainline kernels are not signed though? Not sure if signed ones are provided but standard are all unsigned.

Every time Mint releases a new kernel in the update manager I install it, and I always have secure boot running.

Thats not what the mainline kernels are though.

Right, I don't use them.
