linuxmint new kernels

[glad peak]

where does linuxmint obtain it's new kernels, e.g 6.5 or 6.8 for linuxmint 21.x? how can I install them on regular Ubuntu?

[cedar charm]

depending on what ubuntu version you have you probably already have them

if you want to switch to a non OOTB kernel then you can use the mainline repo
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds

[glad peak]

you mean that Ubuntu will automatically install the newest tested one available?

[cedar charm]

the latest ubuntu release has 6.11 which is only one or two versions behind the latest kernel

[glad peak]

yeah, I was asking about LTS like 22.04

[cedar charm]

then use the mainline repo

[glad peak]

how does LM source them?

[cedar charm]

Ubuntu LTS already has 6.8

it's in the main repo

It's why LM doesn't offer anything above 6.8 by default

[glad peak]

yes and how can I obtain 6.8 on e.g 22.04, like it is possible on LM?

[cedar charm]

Linux mint is based on 24.04

[glad peak]

no linuxmint 21.x is actually based on ubuntu 22.04. read my initial message please

[cedar charm]

just update ubuntu if you want newer kernels

[glad peak]

so it just does it itself while LM requires you to install it manually?

[cedar charm]

probably

this can all be averted by just not using ubuntu

I'd recommend using Mainline tool for changing kernels in ubuntu.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cappelikan/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install mainline
