So as kernel version 4.5.4 works I could apt-mark hold kernel-4.5.4 to prevent further upgrades
As I've said I am using ukuu to try and find the newest kernel that will work properly
Thank you for your quick reply.
Alas, the fact is that I have '4.13.0-43-generic' (see below) already.
Code:
nn-dot-s:~$ uname -a
Linux nn-dot-s 4.13.0-43-generic #48~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 17 12:56:46 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux
nn-dot-s:~$How can I switch to some earlier kernel (as earlier kernels are much faster) without affecting the whole system? Won't the procedure damage it? Though I am not afraid of experimenting, but I don't want to reinstall my customized distro and all my favourite apps in order not to waste my time. Could you, please, explain it to me easily and clearly having in mind that I am no geek at all. Thanks in advance.
