Depends on cpu model the kernel is paired with and what you're testing. Intel cpus newer than Intel Skylake or AMD EPYC/Ryzen will benefit from Linux 5.3+ Kernels.
Can you please share those custom_config variables I can enable that require kernel 5.3+ ? Thanks Eva.
You mean for optional Nginx IOURING patches Nginx - Double aio bug on NGINX_IOURING_PATCH='y' ? I'd test them carefully as I haven't done much testing on them for a while now or kept up to date with IOURING patches for Nginx.
I have almost identical snippet with a slight difference Code: .. grub2-set-default 0 grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg But this leads to Kernel 3.1x whenever kernel is upgraded through yum and server is restarted. Is your code upgrade proof, maybe I can learn from that? And @eva2000, is it possible to have a variable such as "KERNEL5='y'" in custom_config, to enable this without additional code?
Just the sudo difference I'm not sure yet about this. Maybe version 5 is always on 0/zero/top location.
hard to automate as you experienced, not all systems are configured the same with same hardware so how it's implemented will differ. So left to end user to figure out.
