--- Comment #11 from Chris <cjd...@brokensolstice.com> ---
I applied more updates yesterday. That brought me to kernel 5.11.  Which made
the system completely unbootable.  I never even see grub.  It just locks up on
the "Gigabyte" splash screen (the maker of my motherboard).

To my surprise, I found that if I tapped escape, I could get into grub if the
timing was just right.  I booted into kernel 5.8.0-63 and it worked!  I ran
this for about 24 hours, and it never complained.  Again, I thought I was in
the clear.  A few moments ago, I noticed it wanted two more updates: Gnome
Application platform 3.38 and KDE 5.15.  I applied these -- now I'm back to
where I was before.  Everything just locks up, I get weird behaviors and I see
nvidia drm errors.  I noticed that the last several times the system was
offering these two packages after applying system updates.  They just might be
the actual problem here, I'm thinking.

As a side note -- I have another neon system I'm using as the base for my Linux
audio Daw.  I use the repos there to get all my DAW related packages and guitar
effects etc.  The last update completely killed that system too -- the update
that brought it to 5.11. It just came up to a black screen, and I had to do a
system rescue. I was able to back that one down to 5.8.0-63, and it is running
again... that is also a gigabyte board z390 designaire -- which is an intel
board, so that was surprising.  It also has a gigabyte card with proprietary
drivers (which must be used due to excessive interrupts caused by neouveau). 
That is 2 of 3 systems I use that have been unusable under the updates that
have been going out over the past couple months. It might be a coincidence, I
don't know.  But I thought I should mention it.
