CoreELEC 19 Matrix Discussion (Kodi RC)

[cdu13a]

I created a separate thread to continue(and to organize in one place answers to related FAQ) the discussion about what kernel CoreELEC uses, and the current status of the mainline linux kernel. If further conversation on the subject of linux kernels can move there.
It’s starting to get a little to far off-topic in this thread, which was for discussion of the test build for the next major version of CoreELEC.

Linux Kernel FAQ and Discussion

The subject of what kernel CoreELEC uses (and doesn’t currently use for example the mainline 5.x kernel) keeps popping up in other threads and ends up going in directions that get more and more off-topic for those threads. I also find myself answering very similar questions often. So I decided to start a thread to continue the discussion, so that there is one place to have that discussion. Please keep it polite.
