By default, the kernel that is installed in dom0 is the kernel shipped by Fedora 25. By default, the kernel that is installed in dom0 comes from the `kernel` package, which is an older Linux LTS kernel.
For most cases this works fine since the Qubes OS developers backport fixes to this kernel, but for some newer hardware, you may run into issues. For most cases this works fine since the Qubes OS developers backport fixes to this kernel, but for some newer hardware, you may run into issues.
