r/ultramarine

In the past few weeks I noticed plenty of system updates on my Ultramarine desktop installation and noticed just yesterday while searching for a package in the dnf list command output that I have the new version of the linux kernel and the new version of GNOME installed. That sounds cool but if I run fastfetch I get that both are running on the old version and I was asking myself if I have to do something manually or if Ultramarine will care of running the commands that will remove GNOME 49 and the 6.x kernel from packages and switch to the new ones beneath one of the upcoming system updates

Thanks in advance and sorry if this may sound like a stupid question but I'm new to linux and don't know how "managed" is intended to be a so called distro like Ultramarine

WARNING: For some reason, my sound card died and I didn't realize it (maybe because these last few weeks I've only been using my laptop with Bluetooth headphones). SORRY FOR ALL THE CONFUSION, ULTRAMARINE IS REALLY WONDERFUL!

For some reason, Ultramarine didn't detect my laptop's sound card. It's a Dell Inspiron 7348, and I've already tested it on countless Linux distributions, so the problem isn't incompatibility.

I ran the commands lspci | grep -i audio, aplay -l, pactl list short sinks, and dmesg | grep -i audio. And they returned these outputs, respectively:

00:03.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Broadwell-U Audio Controller (rev 09)
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation Wildcat Point-LP High Definition Audio Controller (rev 03)

dmesg: read kernel buffer failed: Operation not permitted

From what I understand, it detected the sound card, but didn't load it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Ultramarine Kde received kernel 7 today...or earlier. Runs smooth so far without hiccups...

Kudos to the development team!
