Mountain Giant:
What is difference between Linux Lite and generic kernels? Because version numbers are different than on official site.

Addendum: The 32bit kernel will cease to exist after April 1st 2021. This coincides with the EOL for Series 3.x, the last 32bit OS we produced. All Kernels from April 1st onwards, will be 64bit only. 32bit kernels will remain in our repository for now.
Jerry:
