Using a different Linux kernel

[thumbtak]

How to install an older kernel

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cappelikan/ppa

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

$ sudo apt install -y mainline

Once the installation is complete, you can find and launch it from the application menu.

When you launch it for the first time, it will take a few seconds to fetch the latest kernel information, and then you will be presented with the following window with the list of kernel versions.

Select your desired kernel version (in my case, 6.7.5) and click on the “Install” button on the right side to install it.

It will begin the process of downloading, compiling, and installing the specific kernel version you’ve selected.

Now, you can wait and have a coffee break as this process will take some time, and once it’s done, make sure to reboot your system to apply the change, then issue the following command to verify the current kernel version.

$ uname -a

You will see something like below.

Booting into the older Linux kernel (Installing Grub Customizer)

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install grub-customizer

Now open grub-customizer from your application’s menu and follow the below picture.

$ shutdown -h now

Turn on your computer after running the shutdown command, above.

Open terminal after the computer loads and run the following command to check if the correct kernal loaded.

$ uname -r
