The current instructions in the README for keeping the CachyOS kernel as the default kernel after updates to the official Fedora kernel are no longer working in Fedora 44 as the official kernel makes itself default using a %post script, which runs after
kernel/postinst.dscripts. Thank you @Hekel1989 for figuring it out!By using a DNF5 post_transaction action we can run the command after the %post script.
Fixes #94
Should there be instructions for removing the previous
postinst.d/99-defaultscript?Preview
Default Kernel
By default Fedora will use the kernel that was most recently updated by
dnfwhich will lead to inconsistent behaviour if you have multiple kernels installed, but we can tell Fedora to always boot with the latest CachyOS kernel by running a command after all kernel updates.The next time any installed kernel (e.g. the official Fedora kernel) gets an update, the system will change default kernel back to the latest CachyOS kernel. This way you can keep the official kernel as a backup in case an update goes wrong and you need to temporarily switch to the official kernel.
