How to install the latest/stable version of Linux kernel on Ubuntu Linux using apt-get

To install the latest stable version of the Linux kernel on an Ubuntu Linux system using apt-get, you can use the following steps:

  1. Add the ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa repository:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa

This repository contains the latest stable versions of the Linux kernel for Ubuntu.

  1. Update the package index:
sudo apt-get update

This will update the package index to include the packages from the ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa repository.

  1. Install the Linux kernel:
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-hwe-20.04

Replace 20.04 with the version of Ubuntu you are using. This will install the latest stable version of the Linux kernel for your version of Ubuntu.

  1. Reboot the system:
sudo reboot

This will apply the changes and start the new kernel.
