The Linux 4.11 kernel series is the latest stable available at the moment of writing this article, and it looks like Linux Lite users are among the first to get it. It’s available as we speak for both 64-bit and 32-bit installations, and it’s the first to include the project’s own firmware package called “linux-firmware-image-linuxlite.” If you’re using the latest version of the Linux Lite operating system, you can now install the new Linux 4.11 kernel packages from the repos if you open a terminal emulator or switch to the virtual console and execute the following command. Once everything was successfully installed and configured, make sure you reboot your computer.
