This is pretty much the reality of using any out-of-tree kernel module, and especially the case for a proprietary module like the nvidia drivers. They're often not compatible across kernel 4.x version changes, and upstream projects often do not target mainline in their official releases. IMO you're better off still sticking to longterm, such as 4.14. Otherwise you're still dealing with stable dropping support for your version but the out-of-kernel module takes a week to support the new version. There isn't any overlap in linux stable support release across versions - they stop one and start the next. Only the longterm releases get overlapping support windows. -- Rich
