@pmbenterprises this is the reason we put the nVidia disclaimer in. If a person decides to try their luck, they need to be able to get out of the situation on their own ie. proficient in the TTY at reversing their actions. In the past I myself, have used the latest kernel with the latest nVidia .run file, that's been my preference. Easy to undo a mess that way.

4.16 Linux Lite Kernel is now available for 32 & 64bit machines.
...

NOTE: If you use proprietary drivers, this kernel may break functionality with those drivers. If you have proprietary drivers installed and you still decide to go ahead with this kernel install, you should be competent in repairing your drivers. If you aren't, DO NOT install this kernel.

IMPORTANT: Only install this kernel if you need it or if you are adept at getting out of trouble from a TTY.


I've installed 4.16 on two laptops, one with an old Intel dual-core and the other with a dual-core AMD, through the Linux Lite Tweaks applet. Update was super simple and both now are actually running faster than with the 4.4.0-122 previous kernels. I have two workstations to consider updating, both running proprietary NVIDIA GPU drivers. Obviously, I'm concerned with driver breakage. Can you tell me whether the NVIDIA repo drivers have been corrected to work with 4.16? Or can anyone else in this forum tell me if they have had success (no driver breakage) with 4.16? TIA

Hope you don't mind Jerry. I fly differently than some computer users Here.   So when wanting a i386 kernel. I grab them from here.

It looks like the Linux Lite Kernel versions 4.xx.0 do not pass the spectre-meltdown-checker tests. Any insight would be appreciated.

Why would this be needed now before the kernel update the regular updates? And no I am not adept ...  ;D

Jerry, when will a kernel later than the 4.4 series become the default?

There won't be as we already provide newer kernel versions via our repository for people requiring newer hardware support.
No, what I meant was (I should have been more specific): at what release of LL will a newer kernel be installed as the default? LL 3.8 (and when is that due?)? or do we have to wait for the LL 4.X series?

My last post answers your question. I'm not sure how much clearer and concise I could have been. Cheers :)
