This is not quite a tutorial, and I am an old n00b, so this is just a notice that you can get and install the latest kernel in LMDE exactly the same way you could a few months ago.

This tells you how to do it,
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.11/
... and this is what we're up to now.
You get a term, and you make the commands mentioned in the first post, but you need to alter / edit them to include the files mentioned in the second. Be careful of accidental white-spaces, those result in a 404....
As of now, I have linux-image-4.11.0-041100-generic_4.11.0-041100.201705041534_amd64.deb running, and it seems to do the VBoxGuestAdditions stuff on install. I couldn't tell you much about how well it works, I only just got it, but it certainly looks to all be working exactly like the 3.16 dinosaur.... FireFox works, youtube works, and I can watch videos and listen to them.

Re: Kernel 4.11.0-041100-generic
Kernel 4.9.x will be a better choice is 4.9 series is LTS.
If I have helped you solve a problem, please add [SOLVED] to your first post title, it helps other users looking for help.

Are you SURE that you want to install an Ubuntu kernel in Mint's Debian edition ?

I agree - probably not a good idea. Ubuntu kernels might work, but they're not build for Debian and you could have all sorts of "fun" if you did this.richyrich wrote:Are you SURE that you want to install an Ubuntu kernel in Mint's Debian edition ?
Better to use Debian backports and get kernel 4.9.
Ya know (going off on a slight tangent here), the Debian 3.16 kernel was actually maintained by the Ubuntu developers up until April 2016, it seems. https://bits.debian.org/2014/07/kernel- ... essie.html But of course that doesn't mean they handled the binaries, just the source (and they did a pretty good job of it IMHO).
