Thank you for your answer, Jerry. If I install kernel 5 in LL 4.6, will I have same version upgrades of this kernel and at the (more or less) same pace as Ubuntu/Xubuntu?

No, any custom kernels made by us, have to be upgraded by you.

If we ship the latest kernel with every release, we lose support for older hardware. This is why the decision was made to provide all kernel versions separately, up to and including the very latest.

Hello!

Is anybody there?... there... there... there...

Is there any good reason why LL 4.6 didn't upgrade to kernel 5 like Ubuntu/Xubuntu?

Dev team decisions and they sure have their own reasons. However, you can install latest kenel 5.3 by following easy instructions from here: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/linux-lite-software-development/linux-lite-kernel/msg48819/#new

Ubuntu LTS 18.04.3 includes kernel 5 by default. Why isn't it present by default in Linux Lite 4.6 if it is based on that version of Ubuntu?
