Well, I was calling how often this has happened since around 2003 or so
when I started using Linux. I think this has happened maybe two or
three times. While they always say they don't support above a certain
version, usually it just works. This time, not so much.
I did build a 5.19 version tho. I haven't rebooted yet tho. May be a
while. o_O
