I’ve heard LTS kernels offer more stability, but lack the latest features. How likely is my system to break with the standard kernel?

    Do you need those features? If not, go LTS. LTS means you’ll have to update the distro less frequently than latest.

    If you want those features, go non-LTS, there’s no other choice. If you don’t want them, go LTS, it’s less of a hassle.

      And “those features” could very well include “able to use recent hardware”

      Built a new PC and had to upgrade to a newer kernel to get my video working correctly; without it, was only getting 1 monitor at embarrassingly low resolution
