Hello, everyone!

I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.5 with Linux-libre 6.2.2, which I wish to uninstall and revert to the default Ubuntu kernel.

How may I achieve this?

Thanks!

Trisquel's default kernel is not Ubuntu's. To get back to Trisquel's default kernel, make sure that the package "linux-image-generic" is installed (and install it if not) and remove the newer kernels. You can then remove the repository with the newer kernels, if you wish. After a reboot, you should run Trisquel's default kernel. Running the following command in the terminal would confirm the version:
$ uname -r

Kindly pointing out that I'm running Ubuntu, as per my original post.

I ended up reinstalling Ubuntu. Still, I'd like to know how Linux-libre may be uninstalled in order to revert to Ubuntu's default kernel. The FSFLA gives accessible instructions on how to use Linux-libre but no method on how to remove it.

As I explained you in https://trisquel.info/forum/remove-linux-libre#comment-171260 (just read Ubuntu whenever I wrote Trisquel).
