Why You Shouldn't Use Microsoft Windows11.
...
Updating your Linux kernel is necessary if you need to add functionalities or device support, patch bugs, or increase system performance.
These instructions should apply to previous versions as well:
Debian 11 "Bullseye" and LMDE5 comes with Linux kernel 5.10 and it is maintained and constantly updated by the Debian team. However, you might want to update to the latest Linux kernel available to get the latest drivers, fixes and updates.
Note: Remember to enable modules you might need. For example if you are going to use Snap, remember to load loop and squashfs kernel modules.
Note: I take no responsibility for loss of data or income, always backup your data first, before trying to upgrade a system. This worked just fine for me on LMDE5.
Latest Linux kernel: v5.19
Size: 199MB
First we need to download the tar.gz-file. ( I assume you have wget installed ).
First find out which Linux kernel you have installed on your system:
uname -r
Press Enter.
Mine was 10.5.xx
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.19.tar.gz
Press Enter and wait for it to download.
wget https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v5.x/linux-5.19.tar.sign
Press Enter.
sudo tar xvzf linux-5.19.tar.gz
Press Enter.
cd linux-5.19
Press Enter.
sudo cp -v /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config
Press Enter.
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-source bc kmod cpio flex libncurses5-dev libelf-dev libssl-dev dwarves -y
Press Enter.
sudo make menuconfig
Press Enter.
Next:
sudo make localmodconfig
Press Enter.
Now, start compiling the new kernel by running the command shown in the following image. This process may take several minutes.
sudo make bzImage
Press Enter.
sudo make modules && sudo make modules_install
Press Enter.
make install
Press Enter.
sudo update-grub
Press Enter.
Now re-boot the system for it to take effect.
uname -r
Windows has always been the preferred platform for gaming, but after STEAM's interest in Linux more game developers are making their games natively available for Linux.
