OS X is (at this point loosely) based on BSD. I think you can still get Darwin (the open source part of OS )X somewhere…

Blood for the blood god?

I do have one, yes. I’m not currently using it, but if I recall it is basically vanilla OSMC, yes.

The Vero V isn’t too bad: https://osmc.tv/vero/ The hardware is decent, and the remote is surprisingly better than I expected.

I don’t think I have any great answers for you, but I have two thoughts:

1. In my grub screen, I have 6.8.9, 6.8.10, and 6.8.11 available as choices. Does this also not work on 6.8.11 or do you only have Fedora configured to keep one old kernel version some how?
2. If your system boots into 6.8.9 just fine, can you disable the swap volume and try 6.8.10 again? If it works, you at least know what’s wrong…

That reads like it’s hanging trying mount a swap volume. Did any hardware change recently? Particularly like hard drive layout or something?

Not to discount your rice idea, but isn’t this essentially the directions for Rice-A-Roni?

Didn’t see any mention yet, so… Useless use of cat!

Honestly? I was trying too hard.

Edit: Lots of other replies mention this, so I’m just repeating things…

“At-will” employment is actually a state-level law, and at least one state (Montana) isn’t an at-will state. That doesn’t invalidate your general points, just think it’s an interesting tidbit.
