+{{Warning|It is important to know the kernel definitions. The Linux kernel project uses three definitions
+<ol>
+<li>Mainline (Development)</li>
+<li>Stable (Mainline which have passed rc6/rc7)</li>
+<li>Long Term Support (LTS)</li>
+</ol>
+}}
+When reading Manjaro documentation either on this Wiki or the forum you will often see an expresseion such as '''lastest stable''' or '''latests LTS''' and those is the terms used the by upstream project.
+A '''stable''' kernel is '''NOT LTS''' - very important difference.
+When a Manjaro ISO is released it contains the latest Long Time (LTS) as defined by upstream kernel project. This practise makes it possible to install Manjaro and keep it running using the LTS kernel - if not for ever - then for a very long time.
+The latest and greates hardware may have poor or non existing support using the LTS kernel. Such hardware will require you to use what is referenced as the '''stable''' kernel.
+The stable kernel goes End Of Life (EOL) when the next mainline becomes stable which happens roughly every 2 months. If you are using the '''stable''' kernel - not LTS - you will have to ensure you are syncing the next stable kernel.
+If you fail to do so you will get various driver issues - most prominently Nvidia drivers - when the EOL kernel is removed from the repo. Such issues is not a Manjaro fault but a fault of the system admin who neglected proper system maintenance.
