Dedicated application for kernel installation/upgrades
Re: Dedicated application for kernel installation/upgrades
Can antiX kernels invariably be installed on MX as well?
Re: Dedicated application for kernel installation/upgrades
Thank you @anticapitalista... I just turn on VBox 6 yesterday. I'll try 4.20. again! Yes @philotux I like using antiX kernels and have for many months.

Re: Dedicated application for kernel installation/upgrades
I agree with @handy's comments regarding making this into a big (huge??) task. The whole manjaro MWHD thing is actually amazing. I won't suggest that route.
However, it occurs to me that there might be a pretty straight forward option available in MX Tools (MXPI). The question is could MXPI handle having a new Tab dedicated to listing 'available kernels and headers'? Right now they appear in a couple of places. Perhaps if all available and approved kernels showed up in just one place and cold be readily identified, that would solve about 90% of the desire to make kernel options more simple.
Anyway, just a thought.

Re: Dedicated application for kernel installation/upgrades
This is what actually triggered me to post about this. To have them all "under one roof". From a user perspective, it would be much easier to pick a kernel by version and get some information about it whether it's long term supported etc. and not have to pinpoint each and every package needed to be installed.
Linux Mint has something like this. The kernel installation is integrated into Update Manager but it has a separate dedicated space where you will see lists of all the kernels available for each version serie, changelogs and whether or not they are LTS.

Re: Dedicated application for kernel installation/upgrades
antiX has a cli app called cli-aptiX that shows available kernels.

Re: Dedicated application for kernel installation/upgrades
the antiX app anti mentioned is pre-installed on MX. It shows up in the menu as "Command Line apt-based package manager".anticapitalista wrote: ↑Sat Feb 02, 2019 10:44 am antiX has a cli app called cli-aptiX that shows available kernels.

FYI: mx "test" repo is not the same thing as debian testing repo.

Re: Dedicated application for kernel installation/upgrades
At least to me, it looks more complicated for the test repo.
Please see: viewtopic.php?f=108&t=48266
Here is one post in that thread from Stevo:
Of course a legitimate question is why I as a novice should care about kernels in the test repo. It surely is more than good enough to have one which works well on my hardware and keep at it.Stevo wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 1:50 am The test repo also has a kernel and header metapackage for each architecture, which should upgrade you to the latest kernel automatically if installed, but the last time I backported it from Sid it was still at 4.19.0-1. I'll see if it's been updated. The package names are slightly simpler for the metapackages, such as
linux-image-amd64
linux-headers-amd64
It's more complicated than that for the 32-bit kernels, since there are pae and nonpae versions.
We also have Liquorix kernels, which in turn have their own metapackages.
It's enough to turn you off computers altogether:
