Hi,
You're right, newer isn't always better, but on old hardware like mine (the computer, I mean), a newer kernel version sometimes means better power management, longer battery life, and yes, greater stability, among other things.
Or so they say.
Anyway, I upgraded my Lite kernel to the latest version available in Lite Tweaks, rebooted, and so far, so good. Battery life seems a smidge better, but I might be imagining things, too.
I still have two issues with Lite that prevent me from switching for good:
- This dual-grub business (one set at 10 second timeout, the other at 30 seconds, that make for a reboot on every other startup when the first fails to boot Lite, and the other takes over after restart), that might or might not be caused by rEFInd;
- How to customize my (AppleTouch) touchpad so that its corners behave the way they do in OS X thanks to SideTrack, and on my Lenovo laptop (posting from it right now) with the help of the adequate Synaptics drivers (the so-called tap zones).
Those two things are real show-stoppers for me, because they force me to work differently, and I'm a creature of habit, I confess.
