kernel update
From Laco K · Apr 13, 2022
hey guys,
have a quick kernel update question.
I'm
running Manjaro on my home machine and my laptop. The latest kernel
update broke my Parallels link, which I need for work. Fortunately, I
was able to roll it back with Timeshift.
Since this
happened there have been many updates to regular packages, which in my
estimation have never been a problem, however, I have not updated
anything for fear of updating the kernel again.
Is there a
terminal command to update everything except for the kernel? Or is there
a way to designate which kernel version I want to continue using? I've
read a bit about grub-customizer but don't know enough about it.
Thanks for your insight.

thank you, sir, great info
Now, is the 'kernel' typically a single package? If so, what's the usual name or how can I identify it?

linux and linux-firmware
should be the main two packages for the kernel...
another option.. and possibly a much easier one.. considering you're using manjaro is go into the kernel manager and switch to the "LTS" kernel.. and you'll just always be using a older stable kernel similar to ubuntu/debian and all those distros.. but all your other packages will update as soon as they get updated as normal.. you just won't be on the mainline kernel anymore..
