   Admittedly, I never see an improvement going from one kernel to the other.   
   Instead, NVIDIA breaks because the driver hasn't been adapted to the new   
   kernel in time for its deployment. That's why I'm considering just   
   sticking to Linux Mint like vallor did to minimize the annoyance.

   There are definitely improvements, but they're under the hood for the   
   general user. I follow the updates on Phoronix to know what's going on,   
   and I can't say that there is much to jump for joy about. However, they   
   are usually genuine improvements to the previous release.

   I hope you run sfc and DISM religiously to prevent breakage.
