Linux kernel 6.9 has been EOL'd; accordingly Sid is now moved to the 6.10 kernel. However, some components of GNOME are being withheld from upgrade at the present time: (problem solved)

Re: [SID - Unstable] Sid Moves to the 6.x Kernal
Perhaps you meant the subject to be "[SID - Unstable] Sid Moves to the 6.6.x Kernal" instead of "[SID - Unstable] Sid Moves to the 6.x Kernal"
Re: [SID - Unstable] Sid Moves to the 6.6 Kernal
Yesterday (or the day bf?) the Linux kernel in Sid moved to version 6.6.13. To me at the least, the dizzying version number changes actually indicate the incredible amounts of efforts that our hardworking Debian developers have been trying to so aggressively keep Sid a leading (but definitely not bleeding!) edge OS. Probably as a result thereof, the stable version of Debian, currently bkworm, can actually keep up very well with very recent hardware advancements.
Recently we bought a Ryzen 7 5700U (with Radeon Vega 8 GPU) mini-PC, as shown in the attached screenshot:
we are so amazed with the performance of bkworm on this machine! (Sid also works great) Measuring 12.5 x 11 x 4 (cm), it is more powerful than my current bulky desktop machine that we purchased only less than 3 years ago. And costs only a fraction of it ($280 vs over $1K).
Our office is budgeted to upgrade two pcs this year. If this mini-pc continues to run well, with the money saved, I may be able to convince my boss to purchase a couple of extras and donate them to some of our forum elders to help bkworm/sid developments. In the past, the shipping cost is prohibitive for any hardware donation (especially for international shipping).

Re: [SID - Unstable] Sid Moves to the 6.6 Kernal
By the way, this kernel series is longterm.....Sid has moved to the 6.6.8 kernal
Re: [SID - Unstable] Sid Moves to the 6.8 Kernel & GNOME to 46
on my actual installation
The kernel vmlinuz-6.8.0-31-generic does from Gentoo and all the kernel from Ubuntu Noble 2024.04 since middle of November 2023 not ! I think, Debian hat great problems...
I is now a unsecure (as you can't continue to work if that happens: installing through the only one installer known by Debian, the uggly old Debian installer, you can't decide at installations time which kernel you will get and after that, black screen and no way to continue to work. Thank you very much...
That new kernel from Debian continues to cause black screens (I must use the old kernel 6.1.0 !)sudo inxi -Cm

Re: [SID - Unstable] Sid Moves to the 6.10 Kernel
These GNOME components are now fully upgraded with the "apt full-upgrade" command. From our own experience, running apt full-upgrade can cause system to crash or mis-behave especially when running GNOME extensions. It is important to run this command on a test machine with full backup.

@pwzhangzz you know it's preferred to use code tags for terminal text etc. And certainly not images. Please fix it.
