Upgrade (Update) Latest Kernel 4.17.14 on Ubuntu Linux Derivatives

Linux kernel is the essential part of any Linux operating system. It is responsible for resource allocation, low-level hardware interfaces, security, simple communications, basic file system management, and more. Written from scratch by Linus Torvalds (with help from various developers), Linux is a clone of the UNIX operating system. It is geared towards POSIX and Single UNIX Specification compliances.

Includes powerful features

Linux provides users with powerful features, such as true multitasking, multistack networking, shared copy-on-write executables, shared libraries, demand loading, virtual memory, and proper memory management.

Initially designed only for 386/486-based computers, now Linux supports a wide range of architectures, including 64-bit (IA64, AMD64), ARM, ARM64, DEC Alpha, MIPS, SUN Sparc, PowerPC, as well as Amiga and Atari machines.

What News on Linux Kernel 4.17.14 :

Here's a brief look at some of the biggest changes to find with this next kernel version: 

• AMDGPU DC is enabled by default for the new display code stack with this main Radeon Linux kernel driver. This means that recent generations of AMD hardware finally have HDMI/DP audio by default as well as prep work for FreeSync, atomic mode-setting, HDMI 2.0, and other modern display features with this display stack that is shared with their proprietary Windows driver. Aside from Vega, DC had to be manually enabled on recent kernel releases if desired. 
• Another huge milestone for Radeon users on Linux is AMDKFD support is now in good shape for pre-Vega discrete GPUs. This allows the ROCm/OpenCL compute stack to now run off a mainline kernel for recent dGPUs like Fiji, Tonga, and Polaris with no longer relying upon an out-of-tree DKMS kernel module. Also on the AMDGPU side is initial support for WattMan-like power efficiency features as well as support for the yet-to-be-released Vega 12 GPU. 
• Intel Cannonlake graphics support is now in good shape and enabled by default for when these next-gen Intel CPUs begin appearing later this year. Meanwhile, the Intel Linux developers are already working on Icelake support that will succeed Cannonlake. 
• Cleaning up a lot of code in the code-base is dropping support for eight obsolete CPU architectures as well as separately dropping POWER4/POWER4+ CPU support. New CPU work includes the Andes NDS32 architecture and initial enablement work around the NVIDIA Xavier SoC. 
• A significant power-savings improvement for idle systems on some hardware. The improvements can be around ~10% on affected systems. 
• Lost and found support for F2FS as well as performance enhancements for this Flash Friendly File-System. 
• EXT4 is now protected against malicious container images that could be specially crafted to cause problems with this file-system. 
• The ACPI TAD driver was introduced that allows supported systems to be woken up when desired, among other possible features. 
• Phoenix RC flight controllers are now supported with a new driver.

For other type you can download in here.

After downloads are finished, you can install and follow this command :

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

booom, installation is finished, reboot your ubuntu system

The source is available now. Binary packages are in the process of being built, and will appear soon at their respective download locations.
