The video that you have just watched is 100% legit way of updating your kernel. To summarize things up you basically download 4 kernel files
You download first 3 based on your OS bit so 32bit - i386 or 64bit - AMD64
The
is for both OS architecture
once you have those files downloaded you open terminal and locate files that you have just downloaded using
command and then simply execute the installation process by running
Notice that it is good thing to remove all other .deb files from the folder that you downloading kernel files so they won't mess up during installation.
