Устанавливаем ядро Linux 6.3 в Linux Mint 20 и Linux Mint 21

Linux Mint является одним из самых популярных дистрибутивов, и не зря, разработчики ответственно относятся к его разработке стараясь сделать систему удобной и стабильной. Сам дистрибутив основывается на Ubuntu, и как следствие, поставляется примерно с тем же ядром. Конечно, в последнее время стали появляться сборки Linux Mint с более свежими ядрами Linux. Имеется ввиду сборки под названием EDGE, но пока такая сборка существует для Linux Mint 20.3. Летом планируется выпустить Linux Mint EDGE 21, но что делать, если необходимо более свежее ядро для корректной работы на данный момент? В этой статье мы узнаем, как установить в Linux Mint 20 и Linux Mint 21 ядро Linux 6.3.

P.S. Обратите внимания, что данный шаг желателен только при условии, что для корректной работы системы необходимо более свежее ядро чем то, которое идет с дистрибутивом. Если система работает стабильно, то нет смысла в установке ядра Linux 6.3. Конечно, можно посмотреть как система будет работать с обновленным ядром, если что, то откатится. Но повторюсь, если система работает стабильно, оставьте то ядро, которое идет в комплекте.

Установка ядра Linux 6.3 в Linux Mint (GUI)

Итак, перед дальнейшими действиями, обновите Linux Mint до последних актуальных версий пакетов. Затем подключим PPA репозиторий Ubuntu Mainline, этот метод позволяет вам быстро загрузить последний исходный код ядра Linux и установить его на свой компьютер с Linux Mint. Используя для установки либо интерфейс командной строки (CLI), либо графический интерфейс пользователя (GUI). Тут все зависит от личных предпочтений. В общем, отправляемся в терминал и подключаем репозиторий Ubuntu Mainline:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cappelikan/ppa -y

Install or Upgrade To Latest Linux Kernel on Ubuntu 20.04 & Linux Mint 20

The kernel is the most essential and crucial unit of every OS (operating system). It enables communication between computer hardware and software applications. It is also responsible for managing the processes, filesystems, I/O disks, etc. Linus Torvalds starting Linux development in 1991 as a personal project. The Linux Kernel updates are released gradually and it is best practice to update the Linux Kernel time by time to have security fixes, bug fixes, and the latest functionality.

This guide explains the easiest and most authentic method to upgrade to the latest Kernel on Ubuntu 20.04 and Linux Mint 20. At the moment of writing, Linux Kernel 5.9 is the latest stable version.

Follow the following steps to upgrade your system’s Linux kernel to the latest version.

How to Install the Latest Linux Kernel on Ubuntu & Linux Mint?

The Kernel is the important component of any operating system as it manages the system resources, and processes and facilitates the communication between hardware and software. The Linux Kernel gained popularity over the years and now it is part of most desktop and mobile operating systems. The new Linux Kernel version is released after a few months with bug fixes and important updates. As of writing this post, the latest Linux Kernel version is 5.10.

Installing the latest Linux Kernel on Ubuntu and Linux Mint

Complete the below-given steps to install the latest Linux Kernel on Ubuntu and Linux Mint:

Step 1: Check the installed version

Fire up the terminal and run the below-given command to check the already installed version on your system.

The Linux Kernel 5.8.0 is installed on my Ubuntu system.

Step 2: Download the latest Linux Kernel

Next, download the latest Linux Kernel for Ubuntu and Linux Mint. You can download it either from the official website or from the terminal. If you wish to download the Linux Kernel files from the official website, then visit the Kernel Ubuntu official website (https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.10/amd64/) and download the Linux Kernel version 5.10 generic files.

You have to download the following files:

1. linux-headers-5.10.0-051000-generic_5.10.0-051000.202012132330_amd64.deb (https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.10/amd64/linux-headers-5.10.0-051000-generic_5.10.0-051000.202012132330_amd64.deb)
2. linux-headers-5.10.0-051000_5.10.0-051000.202012132330_all.deb (https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.10/amd64/linux-headers-5.10.0-051000_5.10.0-051000.202012132330_all.deb)
3. linux-image-unsigned-5.10.0-051000-generic_5.10.0-051000.202012132330_amd64.deb (https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.10/amd64/linux-image-unsigned-5.10.0-051000-generic_5.10.0-051000.202012132330_amd64.deb)
4. linux-modules-5.10.0-051000-generic_5.10.0-051000.202012132330_amd64.deb (https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.10/amd64/linux-modules-5.10.0-051000-generic_5.10.0-051000.202012132330_amd64.deb)

Alternatively, to download the Linux Kernel files from the command line using the wget command, open the terminal and run the below-given commands:

$ wget kernel.ubuntu.com / ~kernel-ppa / mainline / v5.10 / amd64 / linux-headers-5.10.0-051000-generic_5.10.0- 051000.202012132330 _amd64.deb

$ wget kernel.ubuntu.com / ~kernel-ppa / mainline / v5.10 / amd64 / linux-headers-5.10.0-051000_5.10.0- 051000.202012132330 _all.deb

$ wget kernel.ubuntu.com / ~kernel-ppa / mainline / v5.10 / amd64 / linux-image-unsigned-5.10.0-051000-generic_5.10.0- 051000.202012132330 _amd64.deb

$ wget kernel.ubuntu.com / ~kernel-ppa / mainline / v5.10 / amd64 / linux-modules-5.10.0-051000-generic_5.10.0- 051000.202012132330 _amd64.deb

Once all the Debian files for the generic version are downloaded, navigate to the directory where the downloaded files are saved.

If the downloaded files are saved in the Home directory, then you can skip this step.

Step 3: Install the Linux Kernel from the downloaded Debian files

Next, install the latest Linux Kernel from the Debian files with the command below:

Step 4: Verify the Linux Kernel installation

Once the Linux Kernel is successfully installed, reboot the system using the appended command:

Finally, when the system has restarted, verify the Linux Kernel installation and check the installed version with the command below:
