This short walkthrough describes how to install the Linux Kernel 4.3 on Ubuntu Linux.
This guide should work with the latest version of Ubuntu Linux and most Ubuntu-based distributions including Kubuntu and Mint. The included kernel files have been compiled using the generic Ubuntu configuration.
Installation Guide (GUI)
- Download the kernel headers package:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.3-wily/linux-headers-4.3.0-040300_4.3.0-040300.201511020949_all.deb - And the appropriate package for your system

- Install the files in the same order as downloaded above. So first install the headers (2 files) and finally the image (1 file).
- In the terminal run:
sudo update-grub - Reboot and select the kernel from the bootloader menu
I will post the latest version of the 4.3 branch and 4.4 release candidates in comments below.
