   Unfortunately, that won't let you set the default kernel for boot.   
   Note that some kernels are offered, but are "unsupported", such as   
   6.18.9, which was just added.  You'll have to poke at grub to get it   
   to pick a kernel.   
      
   I asked Chatty about a gui tool to set the default kernel -- apparently   
   there is one called "grub-customizer", but it isn't in the Mint repos.
