Aah, interesting! That wasn’t clear from your original post–although in light of this post I see now that you were saying much the same thing there!
(I thought that you were saying that I should upgrade to the latest kernel!)
To be clear, let me say: I wasn’t on the 6.14 kernel out of any particular interest in that kernel.
But from time to time the updater included an update to the kernel, to which the computer would then boot by default.
When this happened with the most recent kernel that it installed, as mentioned previously the update proved problematic, and so I’ve been manually falling back on the 6.14 kernel.
And before your post here I would likely have worried that falling back to a kernel even earlier would mean losing support or compatibility; this may be why I didn’t fall back further.
I’m not familiar with the “Hardware Enablement” line, but from what you say I’m guessing that it’s not something that I require. I certainly don’t have any particularly recent hardware! XD;
But it sounds like I should drop down to the 6.8 kernel! (Which I do think that I’ve seen in my GRUB menu, so it shouldn’t be hard to try it out and report back. I’ll likely do that later tonight, then!)

Update: Okay, I just tried dropping down to kernel 6.8, and… That seems to be one of the kernels that doesn’t work for me. :/
So, perhaps the first thing might be to figure out how to fix that. I’ll start a new topic, I think, since that’s not strictly the same thing as this, and if called for return here once that topic has (hopefully) been resolved…
