Ahhhh fuck that’s it right there. MX’s normal distribution is Debian stable and baked onto the 5.10 kernel. I have to install MX’s AHS release for the 6.x kernel. I didn’t even think about that.
MX is fairly integrated and I’m not sure I could upgrade the kernel in place without destroying the install, assuming I even knew how to replace such a thing.
I’m too used to having all my old hardware lol. Thank you so much!
