Hi, Let me just express my worry that Debian buster and debian based distributions like Ubuntu will miss kernel 5 and AMD Free Sync for 2 years until next Debian release in 2 years.
fact 1: AMD Free sync needs the kernel 5, and it is a very nice feature to adapt the monitor's refresh rate smarter than V-sync, and to avoid tearing. fact 2: kernel 4.19 goes out of life in Dec 2020 As debated on the debian forum. http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=141563 Best Regards Thierry Vilmart fre 2019-04-12 klockan 17:51 +0200 skrev Thierry Vilmart: > question: > > What will happen to buster when kernel 4.19 goes out of life in > Dec2020? > > See EOL for 4.19. > https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html > > > If buster debian 10 has to change the kernel to 5 in Dec 2020, it > will > be untested.
