Can we just have a setting that allows us to lock into a specific kernel for the graphics card at the very least so it will stop breaking? I’d love to go back to 24.04 it is much smoother than 22.04 but I just don’t want to spend hours on end trying to resolve issues once it crashes my graphics card driver. If there is a script to lock into a kernel that would be helpful but a system level lock on the kernel would be better
