I am noticing that the kernel on trisquel is a bit outdated, does anyone know how to update to the latest version while compiling from source? I believe this is the list of kernels we have out there:

if anyone could help me get a newer kernel installed I would be very grateful and hopefully it would benefit the community as well

There is the kernel 3.11 in the Trisquel repository

sudo apt-get install --install-recommends {linux-generic,xserver-xorg,libgl1-mesa-glx}-lts-saucy

Thanks to place your question about upgrading kernell BrighamKeys!
And for answer Gnu and a big thanks for jxself. I followed the guide and now i have my kernell updated too :D
I noticed that the image from grub is improved and now it is clear-cut. Before on old version my image grub or launching Trisquel (?) was blurred or smeared and i thougth it was normal on Trisquel. To my surprise it solved the issue!
Thanks very much!

If you follow the instructions on http://jxself.org/linux-libre/ it is super easy to upgrade to a different version of the kernel.

Best,
