kumk

simple Ubuntu Mainline Kernel manager...

description

Simple CLI tool for install (Ubuntu Mainline Kernel) or purge (any) kernel

• on system with lower libc6 version than need installed linux-header*arch package, install using workaround
  this is about extracting binaries from last(5.11.16) package supporting libc6 2.31 and replace it in installed kernel
  with faking minimal libc6 version for installed package in dpkg status file...

• when installing kernel >=5.15.7 on system without libssl3 package, workarounding depends on unavailable libssl3 faking to libssl1.1

• when installing kernel >=5.17.4 on system without GCC >=11, disabling CONFIG_SLS as workaround for build DKMS modules

• if Sicherboot is detected, after installing kernel he ask if set it as default...
