How can we be sure that a new kernel has the suitable stuff to

(before launching dnf upgrade, of course....)
By watching the Fedora Forum and this list list. I have an old iMac
that lacks an iGPU, so
when a new kernel appears I switch to nouveau so if dnf fails I don't
get a black screen.
The rpmfusion howto has a section on switching, which does require a
reboot. You can
either edit the kernel command-line in the grub2 editor
and if you want to switch back to nvidia... it is not so easy...
moreover, if you have more than one monitor, what nvidia refers to as
DVI-D-0 (for instance) is refered to DVI-D-1 by nouveau and if you have
a script for, say, lightdm the graphical boot won't work...
