Warning: The Linux kernel is a key element of the system. When a hardware device is not working correctly, you can try to perform an upgrade, and the new kernel may resolve the issue. But again, not having to update a new kernel can cause unnecessary rollback, for example, no network connection, no sound, or even a normal boot system, so install a new kernel, and be aware of the risks correctly.

The simplest way to install any kernel method-use Ukuu in Linux Mint .

[Email protected]~$ sudo apt-add-repository-y ppa:teejee2008/ppa [email protected]~$ sudo apt-get update[email protected ]~$ sudo apt-get install Ukuu

Warning: All NVIDIA/AMD computer users are advised to switch to the free version of the driver before installing the kernel.

If you decide to remove kernel 4.12,

1. First, restart your computer and choose the old kernel boot from the GRUB menu. After the system boot is complete, remove the new kernel with the following command:

2. Then, use the Ukuu program, or the command:

   [Email protected]~$ sudo apt purge linux-image-4.12-*

3. Finally, update GRUB or BURG:

   [Email protected]~$ sudo update-grub

When you start GRUB , you can go back to the previous version of the kernel by selecting the previous Linux version .

Good Luck!!!
