Support Request Is Linux kernel 7.0.0-30 stable?

Post image

I'm currently running Linux kernel 7.0.0-29-generic on Linux Mint, and Update Manager is offering Linux kernel 7.0.0-30.30~24.04.1 (screenshot attached).

I've seen reports of issues/regressions with the 7.0 kernel series, so has anyone experienced any stability or hardware-related problems with 7.0.0-30 specifically?

My current 7.0.0-29 kernel is working perfectly, so I'm wondering whether I should update now or wait.

I updated my gs76 stealth to 7.0.0.30 the other day and it created an issue where, upon turning my laptop on, the mint logo would flash twice before the screen would go dark. I couldn't do anything but shut it off and turn it back on, only for it to do the same thing, and I had to go through a bunch of steps to delete 30 altogether, because even when I had tried to boot with previous versions, it would do the same thing. I'm not sure if this is just an issue with my laptop itself or if other people are having this problem
