Looking to update to Version 4.0 in June.  What kernel is recommended for that version? Smile

Planning to upgrade to Version 4.0 in June and need to know which Kernel version to be on.  I am running VirtualBox on my Linux Lite system.  I updated the kernel when I was running 3.6 and it took out VirtualBox necessitating reinstalling VirtualBox after upgrading to version 3.8.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Smile

Hi,

There is no upgrade path from 3.x to 4.x, you can only upgrade within a series.
To install 4, you will need to either do a fresh install or install to another partition/disk.

Cheers!

As far as I know the stock kernel for LL4 *series* will be LTS kernel v4.15 and it's always personal choice to upgrade to a different kernel.
