Title: linux-headers; short question
Post by: Surf3r on 25 May 2021, 20:38:27
I have a short question, will my system break if uninstall linux-headers, i mention i switched to linux-hardened kernel and i looked for dependencies and linux-headers are not required by the kernel. Still i have apparmor installed so i'm in doubt if that will negatvely impact the system. Thank you in advance and regards!

Thank you for reply. I will leave that alone. I was struck by linux-headers being at a higher version than my linux-hardened current version but after more research i found out that headers version can be higher without problems. Once again many thanks  :)
