How to Get Newer Kernels on Ubuntu One of the strengths of Ubuntu is its stability. Each bit of software included inside releases are vigorously tested. They are essentially “snapshots” in time. Everything stays stable. This method has proven to be very effective. Ubuntu is used heavily in work and production environments as a result of this. This is great for most users, but for advanced users looking to get the latest and the greatest, this can be a bit of a drawback. Since this issue is one that power users on Ubuntu have complained about, a developer has come along and created software to solve this problem Ubuntu Kernel Update Utility (UKUU) allows users to install newer versions of the Linux kernel by taking kernels that are currently in development by the Ubuntu team and installing them directly to Ubuntu. Caution: only install newer kernels if you know what you are doing! See http://ift.tt/2m62cqa
