Linus Torvalds released the Linux kernel 4.12. You can download the relevant deb package directly from here to install it. Or, continue with this article and follow the steps below to install the new kernel.

Warning: the Linux kernel is a key element of the system. When a hardware device is not working properly, you can try to perform an upgrade, and the new kernel may solve this problem. But similarly, an unnecessary update of a new kernel can also lead to unnecessary rollbacks, such as no network connection, no sound, or even failure to boot the system properly, so install a new kernel and be aware of the risks.

The easiest way to install any kernel is to use UKUU in Linux Mint.

TerminalShekin@mylinuxmintpc~$sudo apt-add-repository-y ppa:teejee2008/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ukuu

Reminder: all Nvidia/AMD users are advised to switch to the free version of the driver before installing the kernel.

If you decide to delete kernel 4.12

First, restart the computer and select the old kernel from the GRUB menu to start. After the system boots, delete the new kernel with the following command:

Then, use the UKUU program, or the command: sudo apt purge linux-image-4.12-*

*, update GRUB or BURG:sudo update-grub

When you start GRUB, select the previous version of Linux to return to the previous version of the kernel.
