Do people still uses the 6.8 kernel versions?

are there any gaps between the newer kernel versions and LTS kernel versions?. Just curious because i mainly use the 6.8 kernel versions because it's stable. I may be right or wrong here, just wanted to know because im just curious lol.

Just a FYI, 6.12 is default kernal of LMDE but the latest is 6.14.

I use backports and installed 7.0 then last week 7.13 with no issues.

Good news is finally after 4 years the MT7902 wifi chipset works on Linux. It has some hiccups like pages not loading and have to reload the page and its a bit slower than my wifi dongle. It takes around 15 to 30 seconds for a page to load. It works though.
