From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you want stability use the latest Debian. The point of those LTS kernels is more and more supporting IoT and other devices you can't simply upgrade, but you want to keep secure... regular use cases can just usa a stable disto like Debian and you'll never notice any kernel related issues.
