I've (earlier this week) switched from Kubuntu 22.04.5 to Debian 12.8 KDE. I'm running a Gigabyte 97 series MB, FX8350 (8 cores, 4.1 GHz), 32 GB RAM, RTx2070, and 3.125 GB of storage (more than half full with old cruft I don't have time or motivation to sort through).
In Kubuntu, I had installed the HWE (Hardware Enablement) package, mainly to get a newer version of LLVM for a Kerbal Space Program mod that depended on a one of the math libraries. That HWE had me most recently running kernel 6.15.0-generic, while the newest kernel I see in Debian bookworm-backports is 6.12. I haven't tried installing Principia since switching; it may be okay with any version 6 kernel (Kubuntu 22.04 was still running v. 5 when I installed HWE). Can anyone confirm if KSP Principia mod will require upgrading to a newer kernel, or whether there are good reasons not to do so?
