a custom tool or even just a custom help file ("cheat sheet") could probably do the trick...

I'd say Yop, since you know exactly what is needed apparently: go right on ahead and create the "cheat sheet", that would help us out a whole lot!

will be my pleasure - once I actually did it... (and not having been
banned
from the forum by that time for my outspoken
critiques of certain aspects of software ergonomy).

how does the live-usb-maker script help to exchange kernels ? Or did I misunderstand

the live kernel updater is also posted in the first post. (I missed it at first as well).

Thanks and we will be looking forward to your contribution.
Also remember that you may critique things, but when you are in a small community and a relatively small distro with only few hands to work on development it is more appreciated to actually offer some help. "Hey guys, how can I help make this better?". Don't just tell what is wrong, help fix it. Otherwise critique can easily be seen as bashing.

Here is the thread for the
live-kernel-updater. I had sent d.o. a link to the wrong thread. Sorry.
changing kernels is now supported :-)

amazing, yeah?
BitJam made the tool to run any kernel you want on an already USER CONTROLLED distro.
A few rough edges left but otherwise you will
ultimately succeed to change to an alternative kernel starting from e.g. this link :

The liquorix kernel does make quite a difference on my desktop machine of yesteryear... ;-)
