Did you run into any issue? Is it stable enough? I’ve never got the guts to install it on my main desktop.
I haven’t yet! Today I did a kernel update with it, I was kind of hoping something would go wrong so I would have a bug to report. But nope. Everything worked flawlessly. I’m not really sure how to break it but I’m going to try (in a vm lol)
