You have to load a livecd to use an older kernel? That is pretty sad. I keep as many kernels as I like. And I can easily run a command to purge all but the running and next kernels.
As another commenter mentioned, fancy pants filesystems that support snapshots simplify this situation.
- snapplebobapple 4y agowell, It's my laptop and Iw as playing with endeavouros on it so it didn't have any fallback kernels. choosing grub options isn't really a brains operation for most of us, we stick with defaults.
- nemetroid 4y agoUsing a live image for the once-in-a-decade event that a kernel doesn't boot properly isn't a huge hassle.

This is what I used. zfsbootmenu is an EFI executable with support for doing zfs rollbacks (and any other arbitrary zfs command) so as long as my EFI partition is left untouched, I don't need a livecd or another partition or anything.
