Kernel Upgrade

Tom edited this page Oct 18, 2022 · 1 revision

As of now (18.10.2022) Fedora is shipping with Kernel 5.19 by default.

Upgrade to Kernel 6.1 or higher:

To upgrade to a more bleeding edge Kernel check for it in the fedora rawhide(development) repos:

sudo dnf --enablerepo=rawhide info kernel

It should be 6.1 or higher. To upgrade to the Kernel execute:

sudo dnf upgrade kernel* --enablerepo=rawhide

Then reboot and you should be good to go.

Alternatively you can switch to the vanilla stable or vanilla mainline Kernel:

Removing the installed Kernel:

In case stuff is not working out or a newer Kernel is available(even though dnf should take care of it sooner or later anyway).

List all installed Kernels:

dnf list --installed | grep kernel*

Then uninstall the respective Kernel(+headers, modules etc.):

sudo dnf remove kernel-core-insert-version-here
