(The joke here is that the previous Linux kernel update had a bug in it that caused my screen to go blank upon booting up. This, of course, sent me into a panic for several hours, but eventually, with guidance from some of you good people, I managed to roll back to an even more previous kernel and told Linux to wait for the next one before updating.
And now, weeks later, it updated and the bug was still there!)
😶 😨 😅 😆 🤣 😭 😢
