And next update something else breaks.
It's so cool to update everything at once you know, instead of updating crap separately, which is why the bundled open source graphics drivers are a joke because they're bundled and if you want to update it, you risk regressions in completely unrelated areas.

Time has come, ladies and gentlemen!
Jokes aside, this shows why it's better to use distros with added layer of supervision for kernel releases, and avoid so-called "stable" or "LTS" versions provided by kernel.org and Arch, for example. The worst thing they also do is "backporting" untested patches to earlier versions of LTS kernels making otherwise okay-ish kernels fail here and there. Honestly mainline kernels are just a threat to a stable working environment.
Use Ubuntu/ Debian/ Leap on non-cutting edge hardware and you'll be (mostly) fine.
