I’ve had two instances in the past year on Purple Arch (Endeavor) where a kernel update “broke” my system. In both cases, the system still booted fine though, so not all definitions of "broken"may apply.
The first time there was a bug with the kernel drivers for my wireless card which caused a component of Network Manager to lag out the entire UI to the point it was basically unresponsive trying to find a connection, but never did.
The second time, it was a bug with the Vulkan drivers that caused all my games to crash within 60 seconds of starting up. Games are the main thing I use my PC for, so my system was effectively “broken”, even though everything else was fine.
I am of course not discrediting your fortune - I merely wanted to share
