[Bug 1779723] Re: [Wishlist] Add a GUI option autoremove kernel cleanup on updates

[Balint Reczey]

As @juliank pointed out this kernel autoremoval is expected to be fixed in LP: #1624644.
Do you have access to a system where update-manager contains the fix but it does not offer removal of the installed old kernels? If so please check if "sudo apt autoremove" offers the removals.
