I noticed the newest kernel package is named "linux-image-6.8.0-76060800daily20240311-generic".
Why is it named daily? Does it mean we will be getting more frequent kernel updates? Or just some daily build that someone forgot to change its name?
I ran apt upgrade on my laptop today after not using it for a couple of weeks, the main thing was upgrade of NVIDIA driver to 545.29.06, but there was also some change on one of the steam-lib packages (I'm using the Steam deb version, not flatpak). Ever since upgrading, Steam crashes on start.
I tried searching for recently reported issues with the Steam Linux client but can't find anything. Is this a known issue? Any suggestions on what I can check/do?

Here's the segfault from syslog, I have a bunch of core files but don't know if I can get anything useful from them.

I have a Dell Precision laptop with an nvidia GPU, today for the second time I've experienced a freeze while updating drivers. This also happened to me the last time a driver update was published. The display just froze and I couldn't do anything, though it seemed it was just the display dying because I had some Youtube video playing at the time and the audio kept running. Tried to switch to another TTY and that froze too before I could login. I just left it alone for a few mintues, hoping it's still running the upgrade in the background, then forced a cold boot and the laptop came up normally. I didn't look for any logs or traces so don't really have more info.
I'm running Wayland, not sure if it's relevant/related.
Wondering if this is a known issue or if other people seen it. If it is known, anything I should do to avoid it?
