Linux Kernel 4.7-RC5 – How To Install Kernel On Ubuntu 16.04

By Sourabh / July 11, 2016 Category: How To, Ubuntu

Terminal commands to install or upgrade Linux Kernel 4.7-RC5 on Ubuntu 16.04 Systems. The Linux Kernel 4.7-RC5 is a fairly normal release and brings various patches for drivers and few architecture updates. Linux Kernel 4.7 is expected to get released by 24th July 2016.

Announcing the Linux Kernel 4.7-RC5, Linux Torvalds said “The stats looks fairly normal: about half the patch is drivers, roughly a quarter is architecture updates, and the remainder is “misc”: filesystems, scheduler, mm, etc. The bulk of the drivers is GPU updates, but there’s a smattering of rdma, hwmon, Xen, gpio, sound. The architecture side is powerpc, x86, some arm64, and some noise all over from some MM cleanups..”
