Change Details

Now that the LTS kernel has moved to 5.15 ([commit](https://dev.getsol.us/R1966:9ef4a430477dc4731c050a5c46f4c8f0bd70008e)) it's time to start testing the 6.0 kernel. # Disclaimer: This guide is intended for advanced and expert users only. Please only follow if you know how to change your kernel at boot time, edit kernel boot parameters, and how to boot your system from a rescue USB and fix it. You should already know what addon kernel modules you need. Do not attempt if this is your only device. We're not responsible if this renders your device or data unusable. You need to be on the unstable repo for this guide. ==================== Still feel like trying it? Great. To start with, you should know what graphics driver your system uses. If your system uses AMD or Intel graphics you're in luck because your install will be a bit simpler. For Nvidia users you'll need to check your current driver to see if you are using the 520 driver (`nvidia-glx-driver`), the 470 driver (`nvidia-470-glx-driver`), or the 390 driver (`nvidia-390-glx-driver`). If you are unsure of which of those you are using and unable to figure it out this guide is probably not for you.
