Are you saying that everything listed at https://www.debian.org/security is a linux kernel update?

BV206 What was the issue with LocalSend? I don't have a wifi router. Warpinator works perfectly to connect to an android phone using NetworkManager wifi hotspot mode on MX. I don't have firewall rules set for Warpinator so I turn off UFW temporarily until the phone connects. I installed the LocalSe...
