11 From what I've been reading, Ryzen support wasn't added until 4.10, with
12 partial support in 4.9. So you probably won't get everything out of your
13 new hardware.

15 I am using 4.9.16 on my laptop with binary nvidia drivers, I haven't had
16 issues yet. Although, it is one of those dual-gpu models, intel and
17 nvidia - but the nvidia kernel module loads with no erroneous messages.

19 If you have bleeding edge hardware you really need to use a newer kernel
20 for proper support. I didn't even try my new laptop with an old kernel
21 (most of my other machines are on 4.1 LTS still.)
