[04:42] <White_Light> What are the high-level differences between -cloud and -generic? I could not find an article that compares them.
[23:36] <xnox> White_Light, both are meta packages. generic installs -extra kernel modules, cloud does not.
[23:36] <xnox> so look at the -extra package contents to see which modules are there. That's the badger.
[23:39] <White_Light> thanks xnox 
[23:40] <White_Light> same as "linux-image-extras"?
[23:41] <xnox> no idea what linux-image-extras are...
[23:41] <xnox> $ apt show linux-image-generic linux-image-virtual | grep -e Package -e Depends
[23:42] <xnox> Package: linux-image-generic
[23:42] <xnox> Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic, linux-image-extra-4.4.0-38-generic, linux-firmware
[23:42] <xnox> Package: linux-image-virtual
[23:42] <xnox> Depends: linux-image-4.4.0-38-generic
[23:42] <xnox> so linux-image-extra-*-generic & linux-firmware is the difference
[23:42] <xnox> the actual kernel image is the same.
