I had participated in Fedora Test Day to test out the 6.12 Kernel on my machine.

Now, how do I switch back to the latest stable kernel image?

rpm -qa kernel returns the following:

kernel-6.11.4-301.fc41.x86_64
kernel-6.11.10-300.fc41.x86_64
kernel-6.12.1-200.fc41.x86_64

It really depends on what you are testing. If you use the Workstation edition you can use the following steps to make your desired kernel active, reboot and remove the kernel you desire. After installing a new kernel it will activate you the new one as default boot option.

First please tell us the steps you used to install the test kernel:

There’s already a newer kernel in the repos:
FEDORA-2024-9fb3492511 — security update for bpftool, kernel, & 1 more — Fedora Updates System

Just disable the testing repo if any, update, and reboot.
