I have a AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz
MSI B350 TOMAHAWK AM4 AMD
24 GB DDR4 3200 MHz
AMD Radeon RX 6800 16 GB
I have 1 HDD mounted in my user profile, for the Steam folder.
I had done this since Steam games consume a lot of disk space.
To my surprise, the update did not mess that up.
During the update, there was a bunch of questions about some system configuration files that were not default and if I want them replaced with a default.
I said yes without knowing what that was about.
It did not ask about the /etc/fstab file.
Since I use the usual open source video card drivers for AMD, I did not expect problems.
I was wondering how the update is going to handle an nVidia graphics card with the nVidia proprietary drivers.
Looks like people are reporting that their system gets a BlSOD.
I think such a thing is normal.
I once had a system with a GTX 650 and I installed the nVidia driver. I think it had Kubuntu 20.04 or 22.04.
Remove the GTX 650 and replace it with GT 8500, which is very old and no longer has support from nVidia.
Boot up the system and it gets a BlSOD.
You can switch to the console and remove the nVidia driver but it is PITA.
The you boot up and it uses the Nouveau driver.
Linux doesn’t seem to have the Windows design where it uses a generic VGA driver when a driver is not available.
Either that or this is a condition that has not been tested.
Maybe one day, Linux will solve this problem as well.
