The recent linux update to 5.14.15 broke my Xorg and I wasn’t able to do anything, not even get a TTY. I had to chroot into the system and downgrade to the pre-update linux packages (5.14.14) and got everything back. I was wondering if there’s anything I could do to update my packages in the future or just never update anything again?
I’ve attached the Xorg failure log:
