In an ideal universe, the kernel never panics. Mine however still does from time to time. I have been informed that this is attributable to me continuing to use an otherwise perfectly servicable AMD graphics card that the X maintainer has elected to no longer support. I have suggested that there might possibly be some more graceful failure mode than a kernel panic in response to some unhandled condition, but to no avail. (Hardware upgrade has been pednding on my end for more than a year. I have all of the necessary parts... new motherboard, new CPU/APU and new memory... however I just never seem to find the time.)
