From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You only see what is available as the targeted package for your release version. You don't normally have the option to install any version you want.
On Ubuntu based systems, you install different versions built from the Mainline Kernel tools.
mainline does not work on mint (at least on my end). it has failed to install any kernel, for like the last year.
It works on any Ubuntu based distribution, though YMMV may vary because it's just the kernel packages.
You probably have some modules that fail to build on the install trigger because it doesn't include the dev headers. Nvidia drivers are usually the most obvious culprit.
ah, well that would be it then. couldn't figure out how to get a newer kernel to install with it so I used xanmod..until it started giving issues too. the default one is good enough anyway.
Yeah, I can't say I recommend messing with automated kernel builds on Ubuntu systems anyway unless you know what you're doing. If people want newer kernels faster, then Debian or Ubuntu distros are not the right choice.
