After the forced updates that get imposed, corrupted my 21.04
installation on this computer, so that it is no longer able to boot, a
few days ago, making me switch back to the 20.10 installation, it
appears to be safer to use a version of the operating system that is
no longer supported, and therefore, not subject to the forced updates.
