Hey fellow Linux folks,
Looking to run some heavy code (very CPU intensive, very long duration execute time) on my new Ryzen system. The problem: I need a fairly new kernel, newer than most distros support right now. I've never had much luck replacing the kernel in the past, and the custom compiled one I ran eons ago never worked right, but from what I have seen I need 4.10 for optimal Ryzen support. I generally stick to Debian based distros, and previously ran Debian testing on my laptop, and Ubuntu LTS releases on my desktop.
What is Debian testing running as a Kernel right now? I know they initiated a package freeze recently, and didn't know what kernel they are running for the freeze. Any suggestions for distros that support 4.10 after updating or can easily and reliably upgrade the kernel to 4.10?
