A few days ago you made us a query on Twitter asking us why Ubuntu crashed on some Intel computers. From the looks of it, the problems started to appear in Ubuntu 16.04 and are still in Ubuntu 18.10. These issues appear to be Linux kernel-related incompatibilities in versions based on the Canonical-developed system, so many users will be happy to know that Linux Kernel 5.0.2 fixes various bugs related to Intel.

This release, which took me by surprise personally and which I rediscovered thanks to Ukuu, occurred last week, on March 13. To be faithful to the truth, I don't know if that day is the day of its public launch, but I can confirm that last Monday the 18th it was available. In the change list web page They mention various Intel-related issues, but AMD has received even more affection if possible.

Linux kernel 5.0.2 could fix old bugs with Intel

Users who are experiencing problems on Intel equipment can update to see if the latest version of the Linux kernel fixes one or more of these bugs. I recommend doing it with Greatness because there is nothing more comfortable than using a good user interface program. Also, if the new version gives you problems, Ukuu also allows us to uninstall the kernel that we just installed. It's something that happened to me, probably from not removing older versions and giving it a second chance. In my case, taking into account that everything works fine for me, I will wait for its official implementation in Kubuntu.

It has already been confirmed that Ubuntu 19.04 Disco DingoExcept for a major surprise, it will arrive with Linux Kernel 5.0. Considering that two maintenance versions have already been released, the possibility that Disco Dingo arrives with v5.0.2 that has been with us for a week cannot be ruled out.

Have you installed the Linux Kernel 5.0.2 and has it fixed any annoying problem for you?
