I am a socialist. But I would never want to live in a country like the USSR. Too authoritarian, too undemocratic, too repressive, too little freedom, too nationalistic.

With Lenin and the USSR, a right-wing interpretation of Marxism prevailed, which then spread globally and became even more problematic with Stalin.

Left-wing socialists such as Luxemburg, Pannekoek, Steinberg, and the early Lukacs therefore condemned and criticized the Soviet Union very early on. I identified with them much more.

In fact, there have probably only been three attempts to introduce a humane form of socialism: the Paris Commune, the Prague Spring, and Chile under Allende. All three were brutally destroyed. The Prague Spring by the USSR.

Haha, my brother, our IT guy, has made it his mission to wipe out Windows in our family.

It wasn’t really a big issue, but it was confusing. I thought that with the same Linux distro version, the highest kernel version offered would also be the same. But upgrading the kernel to a higher version (6.8 to 6.14), rather than just updating it (6.8.0-85 to 6.8.0-87 in my case), doesn’t work via the standard update management UI; you have to go to ‘View’ -> ‘Linux Kernel’.

I have now upgraded to version 6.14 and everything is running smoothly.

Thank you! And it was exactly as you described: I upgraded from 22.1 to 22.2 and she downloaded version 22.2 straight away.

Thank you!

Oh, I see. From time to time, the update manager suggests kernel updates to me. But I seem to be in the 6.8 series, while she is in the 6.14 series. However, in the update manager, I can upgrade to the 6.14 series using the way you suggested. Is that a good idea?
