Linux kernel update.

Moderator note: Moved to technical chat since it's not a Pale Moon for Linux issue.

Hi,
I realise this is not a pale moon specific problem,But seeing as this is a linux thread i thought i would ask.
I currently use linux lite 2.8 which came with kernel 3.13.0.62.My question being ,does this kernel need updating to a newer version or not..?.
My system runs just fine with no issues that i can see,but research on the web shows conflicting opinions so im not entirely certain if an update is needed.

Thanks.

I don't use Linux Lite, but I would think your update manager should offer updated kernels if you really needed an update. That's how it works on *buntu systems at least.

Thank you baz.
My kernel updated via the terminal.

No problem Moonraker.

I don't blame you for worrying about an updated kernel breaking things, but I've never had a problem using newer kernels. In fact, on this Lubuntu 14.04 system I'm using the latest stable kernel, 4.4.2, even though the official kernel for it is 3.16.0-60. That said, I do have that official kernel on here as well, just in case.
