That is impossible, since that would mean we need to downgrade our kernel, which we can't (ever) do.
Fortunately, this bug is easy to fix, now that we know the cause.

I've sent a patch upstream, and will apply a fix in the Debian (and thereby PureOS package) after some brief discussion with the GNOME team, since the patch we mean we need to change the startup method away from Xsession.d startup entirely, and I am not sure if that breaks anything (I would say no, but there might be some weird corner case or DE I don't know).

Okay, the initial Debian bug that KiBi fixed was not the one we had in PureOS, but the exact same bug is affecting Debian now.
This issue is highly unstable in when it shows, but is at least reproducible with the same configuration of packages. Cyril is trying for find the cause of the problem by bisecting with Debian snapshots, and I am more randomly poking it to maybe find the cause of this issue.

Yes, GNOME Software requires an internet connection on its first run, and display a "please wait" message while it is refreshing. If none is there, I don't know exactly what happens, but I guess the SC being empty is the result.
There is no need to run apt update manually.

This is somehow related to systemd: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6483
It does work occasionally on Debian though, so it appears like I need to put some further work into debugging this issue.
Meanwhile, I could patch the systemd package in order to disable the service that causes trouble for us by default (which is not a proper fix though).
I'll do some further experiments.

mak added a comment to T126: OEM image formats wrong hdd?.

I am not sure if this is actually a bug - as soon as you hit the OEM install button, the OEM script will wipe all disks without asking, to ensure they are in a pristine state and contain a filesystem.
I changed the preferences for where the OS gets installed a while back, so in case we find something where we think that it is an SSD, the disk will be preferred over HDDs on the same machine.
