New LTS Kernel 4.19 and NVidia Patch

Under 24h after Linux Kernel 4.19 LTS is released by Greg, Patrick decided to bump the kernel used in -current to the latest LTS release. This new major version brings tons of new and interesting features, as written in Kernel Newbies.

I decided to try this new kernel and luckily, my VMWare is still working well, even though i used VirtualBox lately. I did have some problems with NVidia 390.87, but i found a simple patch and here's what you need to do:
  1. ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.87 --extract-only
  2. cd ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-390.87
  3. Apply the patch found here
  4. ./nvidia-installer
All (except 1) of my wishlist is now fulfilled. The last remaining is moving on to Qt5 and KDE 5. I'm pretty sure it will showed up soon enough as KDE 5 is getting more stable and polished. It has been tested by Eric (and some other) for some time and it's proven to be solid.
