The Linux Kernel/Updating

75% The most of Linux system distributions update the kernel automatically to recommended and tested release. If you want to research your own copy of sources, compile it and run you can do it manually. Here is short and fast starting instruction: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git cd linux cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) .config # reuse current working config make olddefconfig # configure using current config and default options make localyesconfig # update current config converting local mods to core make sudo make install Other make targets for configuration menuconfig requires libncurses5-dev gconfig requires libglade2-dev xconfig requires libqt4-dev 📖 References Installing the kernel from sources, admin guide admin-guide/README.html#installing-the-kernel-source Kernel Build System kbuild 📚 Further reading Updating the kernel on RHEL 10 How to build an Ubuntu Linux kernel https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel 💾 Historical: https://linuxreviews.org/Kernel_Rebuild_Guide
