On the one hand, this means better support for new hardware. Only fresh installations of Mint 19.3 will come with kernel series 5.0.0 pre-installed. Fresh installation of Mint 19.3 from the ISO image If Update Manager tells the EOL is Feb 2020, then this kernel will not receive any more updates after Feb 2020. Update Manager tells you for each kernel series the relevant EOL. Unless your hardware forces you to, there is no point in replacing LTS kernel 4.15.0 by short term kernels like 5.0.0 or 5.3.0. Only kernel series 4.15.0 is LTS and will receive updates till Mint 19.x EOL in April 2023. Please, refer to gm10's explanation on how the Update Manager really decides when to offer kernel upgrade to 5.0.0.37 and when not in the post below. Seems on stock Mint 19.x systems things are more complicated than on my Mint 19.x systems, where neither linux-kernel-generic nor the ancient K4.15.0-20 (LM 19.1) or K4.15.0-54 (LM 19.2) have survived till December 2019. You select the kernel to which you wish to upgrade and install it. or to 5.3.0, then you can do so through Update Manager by going to View => Linux Kernel. If you want to switch from kernel 4.15.0-72 to kernel series 5.0.0 e.g. before the upgrade, Mint 19.3 will go on using kernel 4.15.0-72. In-place upgrade from Mint 19.x to Mint 19.3 through Mint Update Managerĭuring the in-place upgrade to Mint 19.3, the kernel series, which is present on your system will not be changed. which kernel series you will receive if you upgrade to Mint 19.3 by installing Mint 19.3 from scratchġ.how the upgrade to Mint 19.3 through Update Manager preserves your pre-installed kernel series.Those people will really freak out if they move to 19.3 and look in the update manager kernel listing and says supported till Feb 2020.Īlthough this thread has been marked as already, let me try to explain When i thought about this the wording/timing is really bad because Windows 7 support is done in January. So, now I'm need to know what will happen with updates ? Will i get updates for 4.15 kernel or will this blacklist all kernel updates ? by sticking 5 in the blacklist area. ![]() Now today i got a update prompt to kernel 5.0, which surprised me, so i stuck it in the blacklist area of the update manager. I thought i will just leave it on 4.15 kernel because i don't understand this 5 kernel. I don't understand what this means "supported until Feb 2020" ? Linux Mint 19x is supported till 2023 ? I thought i downloaded the wrong version so i did a full re-installed of 19.2 and updated it to 19.3 on 4.15 kernel from the update manager. When i looked in my update manager i was on kernel 5 and it said supported till Feb 2020. He showed his update manager with the Linux kernels column and he said not to install 5 kernel because support was only till Feb 2020. Last night I was looking at a YouTube upgrade review from 19.2 to 19.3 and the guy showed his kernel as 4.15 not 5 after his upgrade and i thought it was odd because i knew i was on kernel 5. I did a fresh install of 19.3 and it worked great with the 5 kernel as shipped. ![]()
