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

1. Linux-image
2. Linux-image-extra
3. Linux-headers-generic

You download first 3 based on your OS bit so 32bit - i386 or 64bit - AMD64

The

• Linux-headers-all
