ubuntu16.04 Update kernel--using more than 4.6 cores will make Dell computers with a card faster--and offload redundant cores

Tips: I am Dell's a-card computer, with 16.04 desktop feeling as smooth as fedora, and then manually upgraded to the 4.6.2 kernel, found that can and fedora and Windows General desktop operation smoothness.

I tried 4.7 of the development version of the kernel, there will be some error, stable version has not been released, so it is recommended to use the latest stable version of the 4.6.2 kernel, very smooth.

New features of Linux kernel 4.6

• Open source support for the GTX 900 series graphics
• More energy-efficient AHCI power management support
• Improvements to DELL laptop support
• Better security for 32-bit Linux applications
• Support improvements for various open source AMD graphics drivers
• Some new ARM hardware support.

Download Linux Kernel 4.6.2

Download the appropriate package (i386–32 bit or amd64–64 bit) based on your computer system hardware (I am AMD):

• Linux-headers-4.6.2-040602-generic_4.6.2-040602.201606100516_amd64.deb
• Linux-headers-4.6.2-040602_4.6.2-040602.201606100516_all.deb
• Linux-image-4.6.2-040602-generic_4.6.2-040602.201606100516_amd64.deb

Place the downloaded three Deb packages for your PC in one folder and execute the sudo dpkg-i *.deb to complete the installation later.

Remove unnecessary kernels from your computer: (restart first)

1. Review the list of kernel versions that are present in the system:

sudo dpkg--get-selections |grep Linux

2. View the current version of the kernel used by Ubuntu system

Uname-a

3. Remove the excess kernel:sudo apt purge linux-headers-4.4.0-27 linux-image-4.4.0-27-generic
