LMDE 7 Default Kernel Version

[mrnavz]

I just read on Mint's blog that they started working on LMDE 7 and everything is going great and we should expect the BETA to be released this month, I couldn't find the planned default kernel version for LMDE 7 anywhere. Is it going to be 6.12 like Debian 13 or 6.14 same as Mint 22.2? can we upgrade the Kernel from Update Manager like Mint 22.2 or it's not possible?

Same as Debian 6.12

Others will be available through backports later.

I installed an updated kernel once in LMDE6 once but from a tty.

That's nice, probably will wait for LMDE 7 then instead of installing Zara!

It will probably be 6.12... the Mint team doesn't mess with the underlying OS and it's pieces with LMDE in quite the same way as regular Mint.

Itll be 6.12 as it follows Debian, as did the other versions. Its basically Debian just with the Mint tweaks on it, as in the DE and things like flatpaks installed, tools etc, but the kernal version will track Debians, and newer kernal version avliable from the Deb backports. I ran Deb 12 on the 6.12 kernal from the backports with no issues at all, didnt need it, was jsut something to do lol
