I think I didn't make it clear enough: My laptop was on the power during the update process, when the power randomly cut out - for the first time in about 6 years, it doesn't happen often. Of course you can interpret it as user error - but I think it's reasonable to update my system when plugged into, normally reliable power. The laptop battery is pretty much dead, so it would've shut itself down automatically anyway.
sure, but what os wouldn't break if you did this?
Any immutable distro, Debian, Ubuntu, all their derivatives, Fedora, all its derivatives, OpenSUSE, Slackware, ...
Basically, 95+% of installed Linux systems would retain the old or a backup kernel during an upgrade.
Debian and Ubuntu are not immutable distributions by default, unless I am mistaken.
They weren't saying Debian and Ubuntu are immutable - they were saying "any immutable distro", "Debian", and "Ubuntu" as three separate items in a list.
Ohh, I'm dumb
Any immutable distro and Debian and Ubuntu and all their derivatives
