Announced by Linus Torvalds on June 7th, 2019, Linux kernel 5.2 is now the most advanced kernel series featuring a new open-source firmware for DSP audio devices, a new mount API for mounting file systems, new open-source GPU drivers for ARM Mali devices, and a new CPU bug infrastructure to protect devices against the Intel MDS hardware flaws. As usual, Linux Lite developer and founder Jerry Bezencon was quick to package the Linux 5.2 kernel and distribute it to users through the software repositories in Linux Lite 4.x and Linux Lite 3.x operating system series. Please follow the next instructions to install Linux kernel 5.2 right now on your Linux Lite computer.
