By default anything with a 4 or 5 level is not selected for update, this includes the kernel and xorg drivers.
Quote:Level 4:
Unsafe packages. Updates classified as level 4 could have a potential negative affect on system stability. Deselected by default for safety and visibility.
Level 5: Dangerous packages. Updates classified as level 5 can have a negative affect on system stability depending on the system hardware and specifications. Also deselected for safety and visibility.
Although there are users who claim that level 4 and level 5 updates disrupt their systems when it comes to stability, there are plenty of users who select level 4 and level 5 for updating and not having any problems with their system after updating.
Until I encountered this problem I universally updated using sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade in the terminal and ignored the update manager. For the sake of productivity, I'll let the update manager do its job--while I enjoy installing & configuring I no longer have the spare time to do it frequently.
Edit--Does this mean that Maui 1 will not received kernel & xorg driver updates at all? Or only when they have been thoroughly tested?
