A while back I installed grub-customizer in order to restore booting when I had a problem with a failed update leading to multiple kernel versions that wouldn't boot and wanted to make it easy to get to the one that would.
That's a long solved issue, but now when I get a kernel update, grub-customizer apparently prevents the vmlinuz and initrd.img links from being updated to point to the newest kernel version (in HWE train, if that matters). I used grub-customizer to set the GRUB menu back to its default layout, but it still doesn't catch updates, and while I can manually update these links (from command line, since I can't just edit link properties from Dolphin in a root-owned folder), this used to be automatic and a reboot after a kernel update would just automatically load the newest kernel version.
How do i get back to that default behavior? Would it be as simple as purging grub-customizer and GRUB, then installing GRUB without rebooting in between (I expect not, because it never is).
I've seen links on the web to long, complicated instructions on how to do this -- is there a reasonably simple way, or is this another case of "Linux users are expected to be gurus even if they started using Linux because Windows wanted them to be gurus"?
FWIW, I'm currently running Kubuntu 22.04.3, kept up to date, and just received an update to kernel 6.2.0-34-generic (HWE) (though I haven't rebooted to that version yet, since grub-customizer had me locked on 5.15.0-54-generic for auto-start).
