    rapid mitosis

    As in you are seeing multiple boot entries? It’s likely one entry per kernel version that you have installed. It doesn’t happen often these days any more, but in some situations it’s handy to be able to revert to a previous kernel if for example third party modules break.

      its per fedora version for some reason, and i dont think that such a fallback would even work since fedora removes the previous kernel core and most other garbadge from what ive seen

        I don’t know about Fedora, but Debian keeps at least the previous version. However, that’s about it. There remain only 4 (2 normal + 2 recovery) GRUB entries and the additional ones vanish automatically during the uninstallation procedure.
