I finally updated my Debian 12 computer with the new kernel version. No issues with the update. However, I ended up installing Kubuntu 23.10 on my other computer, which was on LMDE 6. It has just what that computer needs as well as a better desktop environment. I could not get it on Debian because the System 76 drivers for the KSys76 power profile widget cannot be found in the Bookworm repos, but that machine seems to run more efficiently on Kubuntu anyway. Tuxedo OS was a bust; some issues with it while testing it on a live USB.
