I am currently running Debian 12 with Gnome using the 6.6.9-amd64 kernel, and have had quite the issues with the newer kernels. Once i switch to them in the grub menu, I am only able to use a single monitor which has been set to a sub-normal resolution. Also animations for the DE are all gone. I can’t add my other monitors in, my nvidia settings panel lost most of its settings (from about 20 tabs to 3) and the entire system runs really poorly. While part of this seems to be an nvidia thing, I do wonder how I would actually go about fixing this.

    Would it maybe make sense to install this older 6.1 kernel? It would potentionally have greater compatebility with the driver… Also, this probably does not have anything to do with the kernel thing, but I just reid to apt upgrade, and found this message repeated a bunch of times at the end of it:

    update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.6.13-amd64
    cp: warning: behavior of -n is non-portable and may change in future; use --update=none instead
    

    This seems like an error which should not be shown to the user and instead the developer of apt, which apparently uses cp.

      Yeah, it’s not an error.

      Yes I would stick with the default kernel unless I have a good reason to change it. E.g. there’s functionality I really need.
