From 3aa308a680d8d30893d036d1ef84958048d03879 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Vladim=C3=ADr=20=C4=8Cun=C3=A1t?= Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2020 16:29:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] linuxPackages: 4.19 -> 5.4 It's a longterm version that has been out for quite some time: 5.4.15 and 5.5 are current. I've been using it, so far I'm not aware of any issues with it. Feature freeze for the next NixOS release is in two weeks, so now seems to be high time to decide the default kernel version. https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-20-03-feature-freeze/5655 --- pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix b/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix index a5565731123d..1d1f6c972930 100644 --- a/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix +++ b/pkgs/top-level/all-packages.nix @@ -16659,7 +16659,7 @@ in }); # The current default kernel / kernel modules. - linuxPackages = linuxPackages_4_19; + linuxPackages = linuxPackages_5_4; linux = linuxPackages.kernel; # Update this when adding the newest kernel major version!
