My upgrading process brought me to the captioned kernel. I see that more recent kernels are available. Is it OK just to try a more recent kernel? If I do try say 4.19… and it doesn’t work do I get the choice of reverting to the earlier version at my boot screen?
I assume the answer is yes but I have a question about removing an older kernel which I know I do not want. I can find it in the Control Centre Package Manager and it is highlighted as installed but I cannot see the kernel that I am now running? Last time I cleaned out some unwanted kernels they were all there including, as I recall the active one. Am I looking in the wrong place?

A) Go back to a previous kernel if the new one isn’t performing as expected: YES. The same as when you intsalled the latest 4.9.0-XXX kernel, you can select any older kernel from the Grub advanced boot menu (and then remove the unwanted kernel).
B) Removing a kernel (making sure it is not the one in use).
Synaptic, cli-aptiX, etc. unfortunately DONT inform you what is the current kernel you are using. If at any point you want to know the version you are using, use the command
uname -r
or, with a bit more info
inxi -S
and then remove whatever kernel you don’t want that is NOT the current kernel with synaptic/cli-aptiX. There is a GUI to manage kernels in more heavy/powerful package installers, and I am not sure if there is any simple tool only for kernel management in the repos.antiX Live system enthusiast.
