I thought that performing Sudo apt-get update Sudo apt-get upgrade Would update the kernel as well as packages. This does not happen.
Is there a way to upgrade the kernel without doing it via Raspberry Pi settings? Is there any benefit in updating the kernel?
Hi Slartibartfast,
Here is Raspberry’s official statements on it: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/raspbian/updating.md https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/kernel/updating.md
We concur in recommending to not update new, untested kernels. However, you can of course still update whatever you want over SSH.
Max2Play does not have any benefits in manually updating the kernel. we recommend only updating from the Raspberry Settings.
I just updated mine on a Pi. It had over 100 updates. Just did:
apt-get update apt-get upgrade
Still works good.

In my experience
Sudo apt-get update Sudo apt-get upgrade
does not update the kernel.
Sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
does update the kernel.
Why do you think your kernel is updated? You can check the kernel version with
uname -a
The latest stable version is 4.9.41 I think.
Hi guys,
The kernel is also listed in our debug info on Settings/Reboot.
