How did you get my dmesg? I never posted it (I signed up for bugzilla just so I could add to this thread, I have never used this before) and I was wondeering if upgrading the kernel before it has been tested by linux mint would there be a high risk of breaking my system. I'm using this for school and I need it to be stable. here is my system info as supplied by the "system info" app https://docs.google.com/document/d/19_EjAlX9rYrC-yc5zgImLRPaHlZTFl5IJeFy1NJ90OM/edit?usp=sharing (I am willing to send more command outputs if needed)
