Not really… Could you be more specific?
could i? yes…
will i? hmmm…
may just be time to move on i guess.
We would have to try all Arch based distros then…
It probably depends on the kernel - any kernel it should be removed (or migrated from etc.) after it becomes unmaintained by the kernel developers.
So, I’d just go with the normal advice:
This is more of an issue - it implies whatever release management they have in place isn’t working. They shouldn’t be releasing a new kernel without having all the necessary modules available in some way (otherwise they will be breaking people’s installations). If this is a common issue with the distro then I’d be looking for a new one.
as it happens i reinstalled 5.8 and all is well again with that… 5.9 got updated so i could use my virtualbox. frustrates me how it played out… time lost and all
ah well… could have been worse.
