Awesome. You will absolutely want to make some kernel adjustments on AMD. While unofficial, this should still apply as it’s still based on Ubuntu 22.04.

[Sourced from here](https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/linux-docs/blob/main/ubuntu-22.04-amd-fw13.md).

**NOTE:** This is NOT official and is done as I need folks on Mint using the correct kernel. 6.2 is not going to be amazing. The recommended, tested, supported OEM C kernel will be far, far better.

For ticketed support and official vetting, we ask users to run **[Ubuntu 22.04.3](https://guides.frame.work/Guide/Ubuntu+22.04+LTS+Installation+on+the+Framework+Laptop+13/109)** over Mint.

* * *

If you need to use Mint and understand I provided _no support here_ to this, here is your best experience below.

### [Install the recommended OEM kernel.](https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/linux-docs/blob/main/ubuntu-22.04-amd-fw13.md#install-the-recommended-oem-kernel)

`sudo apt install linux-oem-22.04c`

**Reboot**

`sudo nano /etc/default/grub`

### [Identify your OEM C kernel](https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/linux-docs/blob/main/ubuntu-22.04-amd-fw13.md#identify-your-oem-c-kernel)

Back up GRUB

```auto
sudo cp /etc/default/grub /etc/default/grub.bak

```

Right now, the AMD target kernel we want folks on is **6.1.0-1023-oem** - but this may evolve in the future. 6.1.0-102 **x** -oem in the future. We use a Zenity alert tool on Ubuntu for this. You will need to do this manually or [customize it yourself](https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/linux-docs/blob/main/ubuntu-22.04-amd-fw13.md).  
Again, this mini-unofficial guide is for Linux Mint, **not** other distros.

### [Change the following.](https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/linux-docs/blob/main/ubuntu-22.04-amd-fw13.md#change-the-following)

`GRUB_DEFAULT="0"`

into

`GRUB_DEFAULT="Advanced options for Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon>Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon, with Linux 6.1.0-1023-oem""`

### [Then run](https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/linux-docs/blob/main/ubuntu-22.04-amd-fw13.md#then-run)

`sudo update-grub`

**Reboot**
