<![CDATA[Auto remove after first update]]>Hi, I’m very new to Rhino (1 day) and relatively new to Linux (6 months), rescuing old laptops for family members (6 so far, none less than 8 years old).
During ISO installation on an old Dell XPS laptop and reboot, after I was doing the update using “rpk update -y” command in Terminal, many times I noticed an instruction to run “sudo apt auto remove” to remove redundant items.
After another reboot I followed the autoremove instruction only to be advised I was actually trying to remove the kernel currently in use, amongst other things. It gave me the option to stop, which I did.
I don’t understand why it would tell me to run autoremove which would include the current kernel. Please advise if I’ve missed something.

Apart from the above I’m looking forward to enjoying Rhino.

What happens if you run:

rpk cleanup
