They are compiled by Ubuntu for testing purposes, but you are using them very much at your own risk (e.g. for the longest time 4.19 and pre-release versions of 4.20 would corrupt your disk, 4.19 still has a fat memory leak in one of the wifi drivers, _et cetera_).\r\n\r\nIt is for this reason that installation of mainline kernels is **not a public feature**, because no matter how many warnings I stick on it, users will still do it and potentially lose their data (going by forum reactions, 4.19 caused a lot of such \"fun\"):\r\n![mintupdate-mainline](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13855078/50538901-d095c200-0b77-11e9-9c92-21488c1f5d60.png)\r\n"}}
