Depends if you want to wait for three weeks. If you install with 12.4 then the
install process should install 6.1.0-17 by the time you complete the install
and reboot, assumiing that you are connected to the 'net.
It's not a problem. 12.3 was stopped because of file corruption, 12.4 was fixed.For some machines, that caused Wifi issues but only a few. The current Debian
kernel should *just work*
All the very best,
