how the upgrade to Mint 19.3 through Update Manager preserves your pre-installed kernel series.Those people will really freak out if they move to 19.3 and look in the update manager kernel listing and says supported till Feb 2020.Īlthough this thread has been marked as already, let me try to explain When i thought about this the wording/timing is really bad because Windows 7 support is done in January. So, now I'm need to know what will happen with updates ? Will i get updates for 4.15 kernel or will this blacklist all kernel updates ? by sticking 5 in the blacklist area. Now today i got a update prompt to kernel 5.0, which surprised me, so i stuck it in the blacklist area of the update manager. I thought i will just leave it on 4.15 kernel because i don't understand this 5 kernel. I don't understand what this means "supported until Feb 2020" ? Linux Mint 19x is supported till 2023 ? I thought i downloaded the wrong version so i did a full re-installed of 19.2 and updated it to 19.3 on 4.15 kernel from the update manager. When i looked in my update manager i was on kernel 5 and it said supported till Feb 2020.
#Linux kernel 5 install
He showed his update manager with the Linux kernels column and he said not to install 5 kernel because support was only till Feb 2020. Last night I was looking at a YouTube upgrade review from 19.2 to 19.3 and the guy showed his kernel as 4.15 not 5 after his upgrade and i thought it was odd because i knew i was on kernel 5. However, it is a process that we have to do with caution, and it is only recommended to do it when we have a problem.I did a fresh install of 19.3 and it worked great with the 5 kernel as shipped. Having a recent version of the kernel is a good way to get the most out of your recent hardware. You will get an output similar to this 5.16.86_64 Once the system has booted, you can check the changes by running the command uname -r When it is finished, just reboot the computer.

sudo rpm -import Īfter that, to install Linux Kernel 5.16 just run the following command sudo dnf -enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml kernel-ml-devel kernel-ml-headers The above command downloads and installs an RPM package that adds and configures the external repository. To add it, you have to run this command sudo dnf install Now we have to add the external repository called elrepo which contains updated kernel packages that we can use for our purpose. So if all your system works perfectly, I recommend you think twice and make a backup.įirst, update the whole system sudo dnf update Remember that although it is a safe process, it can always fail. However, there is an external repository with which we can do it without too much trouble. Unfortunately, recent kernel versions are not included in the official Rocky Linux 8 / Alma Linux 8 repositories. Install Linux Kernel 5.16 on Rocky Linux 8 / Alma Linux 8 The process is faster and easier than you might think. This new version includes many support improvements and security fixes that newer hardware will be able to take advantage of. This post is dedicated to the installation of Linux 5.16 which is one of the latest kernel versions. So, this process is best done when you are sure of it or when you have a hardware failure that can be corrected by a kernel update. On the other hand, some configurations may not always be recognized in the best way. So having a recent kernel can improve the performance of the computer. The kernel is in charge of hardware management.
#Linux kernel 5 how to
Today, you will learn how to install Linux Kernel 5.16 on Rocky Linux 8 / Alma Linux 8. Many define it as the heart of the system.

It offers us, among other things, support for our hardware and many other things.
