Using an old kernel
by arilogue from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BWJS)
Hi,
I know this is an odd & noob question but i want to use linux my old laptop.
So i want to know about kernel and distro relation.
I have an old laptop that has an amd cpu and a nvidia gpu.
But nvidia gpu can not usable properly because it is a deprecated gpu. (304.137 7150m)
In nvidia driver page says that it can only usable with 4.13 kernel.
I want to use Debian based distros but there isn't any distro with 4.13.
I know i can use older versions but they will stop supporting.
So i thought is it possible to install a linux distro (network install) without installing xorg server and after install changing kernel with 4.13 kernel. (later i will install xorg and xfce)
So is it possible or not? And if it's possible how?
Thanks from now and sorry for my bad English : )
