Hello
In both my Tower’s & Lappy’s TW, there’s this status each time i zypper dup:
The following 2 items are locked and will not be changed by any action:
Available:
AdobeICCProfiles **Mesa-dri-nouveau**
I’ve bolded the only one i’m here enquiring about.
That locked status presumably arose from this original installation decision i made, months ago:
https://paste.opensuse.org/images/43233334.jpeg
Given that my DE is KDE Plasma5, that warning message scared me, & lead me to choose what seemed to be the less-worse option. As i write this post, in both PCs, my TW is for the most part behaving magnificently, with the plasma desktop being very stable & reliable [albeit some random [i]occasional glitches, like yesterday morning in Tower, suddenly all graphical elements on screen, & almost all keyboard inputs, froze. The only kb inputs that worked, were Alt - SysRq - REISUB].
Despite the mostly excellent TW graphical behaviour, i have never forgotten that original installation decision, & zypper dup constantly also reminds me of it. Now i’ve discovered that even inxi reminds me of it [indirectly; not [i]explicitly Mesa-dri-nouveau]:

gooeygirl@linux-Tower:~> **inxi --recommends**
inxi will now begin checking for the programs it needs to operate. First a check of the main languages and tools
inxi uses. Python is only for debugging data collection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bash version: 4.4.12(1)-release
Gawk version: 4.1.4,
Sed version:
Sudo version: 1.8.21p2

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test One: Required System Directories (Linux Only).
If one of these system directories is missing, inxi cannot operate:
/proc....................................................................... Present
/sys........................................................................ Present
All the directories are present.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Test Two: Required Core Applications.
If one of these applications is missing, inxi cannot operate:
df (info: partition data)................................................... /usr/bin/df

Test Three: Script Recommends for Graphics Features.
NOTE: If you do not use X these do not matter (like a headless server). Otherwise, if one of these applications
is missing, inxi will have incomplete output:

Do you think i need to actually change anything; eg, should i unlock Mesa-dri-nouveau, or should i attempt the changes inxi recommends, please?
