How to Install Linux Kernel 6.18 LTS on Ubuntu 25.04 Safely | Mainline Kernel Tool Ubuntu Plucky

In this video, we install Linux Kernel 6.18 LTS on Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky Puffin) using the official Mainline Kernel Tool.

This method is the safest and most user-friendly way to run a newer Linux kernel on Ubuntu without replacing or breaking your existing system kernel. The Mainline Kernel tool installs the new kernel alongside your current one, giving you a fallback option at boot if anything goes wrong.

Linux kernel 6.18 LTS brings long-term stability, improved hardware support, and upstream Linux enhancements. While these kernels are built by the Ubuntu Kernel Team, they are not officially supported by Canonical, so this video also explains what that means and how to stay safe.

In this tutorial, you’ll see:
How the Mainline Kernel tool works
Why this method is safer than manual kernel installs
How kernel fallback works automatically
How future 6.18 updates are handled

This guide is ideal for users who want newer kernel features, better hardware compatibility, or long-term kernel updates on Ubuntu 25.04 — without unnecessary risk
