I have, over time, reduced the number of different desktop environments to what is now available - I am getting older and cannot keep up with all the different changes. So I decided to use the two desktop environments that change the least and are more stable (IMHO).

I have discovered the Xanmod Kernel-6.1.xx LTS series that I was using does not allow virtualbox to run. It does not support the installation of virtualbox-dkms and therefore produces a vboxdrv error - so with that, I have decided to use the Debian Kernel 6.1.0-0 which works. so I am upgrading all versions of Expirion to the Debian 6.1.0-0.deb11.5-amd64 kernel, along with the headers. they all should be upgraded on 13 Mar 2023
