This is a tool for installing the latest mainline Linux kernel on Ubuntu-based distributions.
Since the original author stopped maintaining the free version of Ukuu and turned to a paid version, I forked this project and will be maintaining and adding features to it here.
- Option in settings to skip internet connection check
Please feel free to submit a feature request in the Issues section.
- Fetches list of kernels from kernel.ubuntu.com
- Displays notifications when a new kernel update is available.
- Downloads and installs packages automatically
Ukuu is written using Vala and GTK3 toolkit. Source code and binaries are available from the GitHub project page.
