I've been fortunate not to have had that happen to me. From what I've noticed, that tends to people relying on things like nVidia graphics drivers (i.e. third-party support fails). I've been aware that certain kernel updates have been downgrades at times for people, but you could always boot up using an older kernel. Because there's sometimes been a flurry of kernel updates, at various times, I decided to change my preferences so that at least 5 kernels were kept installed. That way, if it was a while before an introduced problem was noticed, I can go back a bit further to try even earlier ones. Again, that's a rarity, but it's only drive space. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
