Dear fellow Trisquel users,
After sudo apt autoremove I got an automatic uninstall of kernel modules [1]. Why, should I worry and can I safely reboot? Thank you very much!
[1]
directly after linux-image-5.15.0-105-generic (5.15.0-105.115+11.0trisquel28) being removed ...:
-
/etc/kernel/prerm.d/dkms:

Before uninstall, this module version was ACTIVE on this kernel.

When a kernel package is installed, DKMS will build and install kernel modules for that version. Likewise, when a kernel package is removed, as is happening here, DKMS will remove the kernel modules for that version of the kernel.
In other words, since kernel 5.15.0-105-generic was removed, the corresponding kernel modules were removed too. Those modules will exist for other kernels and will continue to be built for newer kernel packages. This is normal and there's nothing to worry about.
Thank you very much Adrian Malacoda.
