The main reason I suggested LTS is because that, *when* you decide to do a @world update, you will get the latest LTS of the same main version you're already using. For example you'll go from 5.15.20 to 5.15.78. And that means you won't have to bother with an array of endless "make oldconfig" questions. There'll be like one or two at most, which is trivial to deal with. I've been using LTS kernels for years now, and I never looked back. "make oldconfig" usually doesn't say anything, making it a ridiculously fast and no-brainer update, and yet I get the latest bugfixes and security fixes. It just works :-)
