Stable kernels with security fixes

Probably not a concern for you but 6.4.9 and 6.4.10 (Fedora) have broken nested virtualization for me (Ryzen 9 5950x). My system's topology is unusual as I've leaned into PCI pass-through.

I'm running it (via the Liquorix updates) for the past 28 hours, on a Ryzen 5600 APU standard desktop setup, and no issues observed so far. Looks like 6.4.10 will arrive soon anyway.

Dead right.

FWIW, I'm on 6.4.9 without issue, doing basic desktop tasks and running VMs - nothing high load.
Not using a Downfall-affected CPU though.

Asking the Internet… you know you will be getting more opinions than there are commentors, and then you *still* have to decide for yourself.

About kernel 6.4.9. There's a health warning (in red)....but even so the Fedora team are pushing out 6.4.9 this morning. I haven't done the upgrade. Should I be worried....and wait for 6.4.10?
