It is difficult. But you need to just spend the time and test and
verify that the kernel you pick works for your needs.
And then, after choosing that, you need to monitor the newer releases
for bugfixes and security updates that affect your customers, and then
backport them and provide them to your customers in a method by which
they can easily and securely update their machines.
It's not the simplest business to be in, that's for sure, but then
again, it's no different from any other OS provider, except the fact
that we are moving faster, and providing more features and fixes than
anyone ever has before in the history of computing :)
Welcome to the community, if there's anything we can do to help out,
please let us know, we are all in this together for the long haul.
