Sure, the older versions often clash with newer hardware, and updating kernels in fixed-release distros can be tricky. Rolling release systems avoid this issue.

Rolling release distributions come with their own set of challenges. Still, integrating a newer kernel into any Linux distro is manageable. The simplest method is compiling it from source and installing it yourself, though this bypasses the package manager’s tracking. Building it as a package offers more control and updates through the official system. Personally, during my Debian Stable era, I had to create my own kernels because different versions clashed with the NVIDIA installer (kernel 2.4.x). I even developed a script to automate the build process, which is now outdated.
