If it helps any, the newer one requires a 5.7 or higher kernel. It |
| 21 |
sounds to me like one is old school while the newer one is more *nifty* |
| 22 |
with *new ways* of doing things. Your choice which is better. I'd have |
| 23 |
to have a kernel upgrade before I could switch. |
| 24 |
|

Hope that helps. |
