Depends on the distro. Fedora is a general purpose distro and usually pushes out new kernel releases (6.19 for example) after about 4 weeks. This means the initial bugs have been fixed and it's stable for general purpose use. If you want the latest release it's easy:

sudo dnf upgrade kernel --enablerepo=updates-testing

The Fedora Koji build system has the latest version in testing.

You can also build your own.

Don't make the mistake of thinking 7.0 will be any more special than 6.19 or 6.20 etc. They're just release numbers and when Torvalds thinks the point number is big enough the first number is incremented.

How is this better than a hypervisor OS running multiple VM's?

waypipe -c lz4=9 ssh env QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland-egl <remote-program-path [args]>

Capitalism ~~will cost~~ is costing us the Earth

Clicks (bait).

Assuming you're on Fedora 40: sudo dnf install dnf5

Israel is not blocking humanitarian aid and yet hundreds of aid lorries wait at the border crossings?

This is the best summary could come up with: Killing innocent civilians is a legitimate war aim and the UK will sell you the bombs to do it. Because $$$$. Btw where is the envelope stuffed with cash? /s

Trickle down economics to the rescue. Phew!

It's a stupid gimmick - just like air drops. If the US wanted it could go and open the border crossings for aid. Hundreds of lorries a day are required. Not doing that reveals the truth - starving mainly innocent Palestinians.
