I was running 4.9 up until this past weekend. I am now running 4.10 after doing a complete reinstall. I have only used the GENERIC Kernel on my system so far. I want to fine tune the system and will be creating a custom kernel soon. I do not have a problem compiling it into the kernel if it is a better option. If it really does not matter whether I load it as a KLM or compile it in then I will use the KLM so I can unload it if I ever need to.
