My mint install doesn’t even let me use that old of a kernel version, I can only choose from 6.8, 6.11 and 6.14.
I’m using the 21.3 LTS release. That may be why I have more kernel options.
Since in my experience something always breaks when upgrading any Linux OS, I’ve come to try to avoid that.
21.3? Why not upgrade to the latest?
Because whenever I’ve upgraded any Linux OS in the last 10 years, something broke. Always. That’s why I’m riding this LTS until it dies.
Can’t say I had the same experience, but staying on an outdated version is going to make you run into problems as the one you just experienced.
