Is it possible to update the kernel to a newer version?

#1

I’m quite a beginner, but was reading this: https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-26.html
Can I update the Debian Stretch 4.4 Kernel or is this going to fail?

Also wondering if there is going to be a version of Armbian and Ubuntu Server? Don’t see any news about this for the Rock Pi S.

Thanks!

This is for the Rock Pi 4, not the S?

For ROCK Pi S, there is some progress in mainline, I think it takes some time to have decent mainline support for rk3308.
