We highly recommend linux-lts (5.10) as a very well developed kernel expiring in 2026, while 5.15 is expected to last only till 2024. So 5.10 is a longer LTS, while 5.15 is a relative short term LTS. Current late lts is 6.1 carried by Arch while 6.2 is current stable. So the choices are wide.

Install and set your boot loader as per Obarun and/or arch wikis if necessary:
[[grub|https://wiki.obarun.org/doku.php?id=grub]] [[syslinux|https://wiki.obarun.org/doku.php?id=syslinux]] [[UEFI|UEFI.md]]
[[grub|https://wiki.obarun.org/doku.php?id=grub]] [[syslinux|https://wiki.obarun.org/doku.php?id=syslinux]] [[lilo|https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/LILO]] [[UEFI|UEFI.md]]
We have also built the [[limine|https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Limine]] boot loader software which is simple and one configuration works on both MBR/Bios booting and GPT/UEFI boot. Unfortunately it will not work with btrfs or xfs yet, so use grub if you choose those filesystems.
We have also built the [[limine|https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Limine]] boot loader software, long before it appeared on AUR and later extra, which is simple and one configuration works on both MBR/Bios booting and GPT/UEFI boot. Unfortunately it will not work with btrfs or xfs yet, so use grub if you choose those filesystems. Correction, late versions do not work with ext2,3,4 either, no longer supported, so the developers of limine have shifted in only supporting fat32 in /efi /boot which now they demand you have, even on dos/MBR partitioning table. We find this very anti-unix like perception and we will no longer carry their package. Feel free to get it from Arch in the future and do as you wish. (10/19/2023)
