I wish to make a point here. It's not the release of the distro which
bothers me, but the kernel. 5.x series has 2.0.x series of the kernel,
which is _slow_ (comparatively).
Secondly, the statement "if it works, don't disturb it" is fine when you
actually know when you are disturbing the system. But you never do that
intentionally. You always are on the look out for something better in
terms of performance.

That's news to me!
I've been using RH from the 4.2 days without any problems!
(And, BTW, it's not RH's stability you are talking about, but the kernel
you get with it, right? Or you mean that RH's packages which came in that
distro caused problems?)
