I noticed one of the changes of the new version of Mate 15.10 is a slightly updated kernel, as the changelog states:
Updated to Linux 4.1.15 (previous one was 4.1.13)
But I also noticed that the repositores have a version 4.2.0 of the kernel for the Raspberry Pi. This one is probably coming from Ubuntu (the company) as I can see kernels for the Nexus 5 as well for example.
Has anyone tried upgrading the Ubuntu Mate kernel to the 4.2.0 version in the repositories? If yes, did it work? I am curious if anyone has tried that. I may try it myself too once I get an additional MicroSD card.
