New comment by paper42 on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/38854#issuecomment-1223881700 Comment: * linux is the latest well tested version that works with all commonly used dkms modules - zfs, nvidia, etc. I am not sure if everything works, but it is definitely currently intended for linux to point to 5.18. * linux-mainline is the latest available kernel even if it doesn't work with all modules or isn't tested enough, if you want mainline headers, use linux-mainline-headers also, the commit message is wrong, you are updating the linux metapackage
