🔥 Apparently, using the LTS kernel does not shield me from the Devil Like, comment, and share to support more content!

📝 Quick Summary of the Video In this video, I planned to talk about firewalls, but a surprise kernel issue changed the topic. After updating 50 packages on my Arch Linux system (including an LTS kernel bump from 6.12.21 to 6.12.22), my 10Gb network card stopped working. I confirmed it wasn’t a network issue by testing with my laptop. Switching to the onboard gigabit NIC worked, pointing to a kernel or driver problem. Upgrading from "longterm" to "stable" kernel (6.14.2) fixed the issue. Moral of the story: even LTS kernels can break things—be cautious with updates, especially on rolling distros.
