How can I tell if a package is part of my 'default' installation?

@MrLavender
Ahh thank you, that explains so much!

I will investigate pacutils and double check everything before I remove any packages.

I am curious about linux65 however … should I be concerned that it doesn’t appear on the list of supported kernels from the last stable update?

Are kernels automatically updated along with the rest of the system packages via the Package Manager or do I need to (should I) manage them separately?

– Thanks
