[Noob] Is it worth getting a LTS kernel?

I’ve heard LTS kernels offer more stability, but lack the latest features. How likely is my system to break with the standard kernel?

It depends on whether you like your OS to be boring or not. If you like it boring and the LTS kernel works for you, use it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
