Talk: Linux kernel
From NixOS Wiki
Warning for the section about disabling mitigations?
I think that showing users how to disable security features should come with some warning. Users that are not familiar with these mitigations might copy and paste this configuration without considering the security implications. Also I don't think it's a good idea to have the configuration take the command line from the web page, as the web page might change. --Pingiun (talk) 16:16, 26 August 2019 (UTC)
- Good call, just removed it, while still leaving the useful parts of the section.

Why is the default kernel (just `linux`) not the latest?
Why does the default kernel is just `linux`, and why is it old? It's currently 5.4 on both 20.03 and unstable. I'd expect it to be updated in unstable at least.
It looks like it's the LTS version of the kernel?
