PPAs are not supported in LMDE, which is Debian based, not Ubuntu based like the regular Linux Mint versions. If you need to use a PPA, your have to install Linux Mint 20 (or former versions), not LMDE 4.

Please, which one really?
  • LMDE 4 ?
    (or)
  • Linux Mint 20 ?
It is either or, because they are 2 different Linux Mint builds:
LMDE is based on Debian. Linux Mint 20 is based on Ubuntu 20.04.

Please, post the complete terminal output, displayed by the terminal command inxi -Sxxxr

If your hardware doesn't require some feature of a newer kernel then you would gain nothing by using a later kernel.
Otherwise, unless the automatic update asks to upgrade your kernel, you should leave things alone.

Mint 20 will come with an appropriate kernel.
