The 5.16.11 XanMod kernel is now the default in the distribution.

  • To install or reinstall either kernel, run one of the following commands.
sudo apt install linux-image-mainline-lts
sudo apt install linux-image-mainline-current

We also offer the latest (as of this post) XanMod 5.16.11 and Liquorix kernels from our repository, currently 5.16.0-11.1, respectively.

  • To install either of these kernels, run one of the following commands.
sudo apt install linux-image-liquorix
