It gave you the option to upgrade the kernel because the Update Manger found updates for the kernel that your Linux Mint installation is using at this time.I got to ask, why did it give me an option if it was going to install all the choices anyway?
by the way, I have not continued with this yet bc I upgraded my other computer with MS. it ruined it so that make me wary.
I appreciate the response, but I don't think my question is being answered. I had heard that linux kernel can ruined Intel CPU. I had tried looking these up, but I don't understand it. For something should be a simple maintenance sure make it so confusing.
Those are NOT options....they come with the kernel update. Their appearance is quite normal.I got to ask, why did it give me an option
That is wrong.....bs. my cpu is intel.I had heard that linux kernel can ruined Intel CPU
What does that mean ?......ms ruined your other computer or linux ruined it ?I upgraded my other computer with MS. it ruined it so that make me wary.
it means that ms last upgrade made my screen blead red and the touch pad will not scroll and battery wont recharge anymore. it has amd 2.5 ghz cpu with duel core that made it run slow. I think they did it on purpose to get me to buy a new computer if this linux end up trashing this computer, they won. I really didn't get my answer but thanks anyway.Those are NOT options....they come with the kernel update. Their appearance is quite normal.
I have used Linux Mint for approx 8 years, and have had a drama with an update....Once. ...(and that is out of thousands of updates)
Just allow the update to take place...accept the additional changes.

upgraded win10 on hp laptop that screwed it up. linux is on macbook air.So....you are putting Linux onto that same laptop?
Highly unlikely that Linux will cause any harm.
Keep the Updates....up to date. I do mine every day. The Linux Updates generally give no problems.
You can use an app/program called Timeshift to restore to an earlier time.....just in case you screw things up......but....you will need either a big usb stick or a usb external hard drive to store it on
Why don't people take notice of what we say...
lol, that video just prove why we are skeptical. I had gotten second opinion out of all of them but thanks for trying to help us out thought that why we come here. a horse can smell water 12 miles away you know. you push the pencil. there is more than one way to look at it when you don't know what to look for.They don't listen to their doctor, their lawyer, or their accountant - and they're *paying* those people for their professional advice.
