Linux Lite Kernel

[Valtam]

4.17 Linux Lite Kernel is now available for 32 & 64bit machines.

'If it ain't broke...' If you don't need this kernel for a specific reason, don't install it!

These kernels are built for:

- Series 4.x (diamond/bionic 64bit only)
- Series 3.x (citrine/xenial)
- Series 2.x (beryl/trusty) - NB: This is the last Linux Lite Kernel build for this Series.

See here for an overview of what's new - https://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_...7-Released

Open a terminal and do:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install linux-headers-linuxlite-4.17.0 linux-image-linuxlite-4.17.0 -y

NB: The linux-firmware-image is no longer going to be built. See here for more information - https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit...7bb1ef7769

If you prefer the point-and-click option, go to Menu, System, Lite Tweaks and select Kernel Installer.



NOTE: If you use proprietary drivers, this kernel may break functionality with those drivers. If you have proprietary drivers installed and you still decide to go ahead with this kernel install, you should be competent in repairing your drivers. If you aren't, DO NOT install this kernel.

IMPORTANT: Only install this kernel if you need it or if you are adept at getting out of trouble from a TTY.
