Hi friends.

I am using elementaryOS 5.1.7 Hera in long time.
Kernel; Xanmod Kernel 5.15.

I want upgrade to Offical Linux 5.16/5.17 but i cant.
Is there an easy way to update?

I have AMD CPU and official Linux 5.16 has made significant strides for AMD CPU.

Thanks you.
 


Don't bump, if you are running the Xanmod Kernel currently and want to switch over to the default kernel that comes with Elementary is that you have to install the kernel package if it's already installed. Can you share the output of the following by running it in the terminal?
Code:
dpkg --list | grep linux

Bumping your question will not get you any quicker answers, we are not a professional help site, we are all volunteers with differing specialities spread across the 5 continents and every time zone, so you need to have patience until one of us pick up your question.
It is not recommended that you change to the latest kernel until your distribution releases it to their stream, you can manually install any kernel on Ubuntu based distributions, but be warned it could break your installation..

I didn't get professional help/answer. I saw it like a normal forum site and stated my problem like a normal member.

Thank you for answer.

Bumping is frowned upon in most forums, so here as well.

Can you share the output of the following?
Code:
apt search linux-generic

Then why bump if you know that is true.
Where is the bump?
