Hi AJSlye, so do the kernels automatically get upgraded or do we have to install them through the mhwd command?

Many thanks.

During regular system updates, the installed kernels will get updated within their series only (3.14.13 -> 3.14.14, etc.), Manjaro allows you to have more than one kernel installed at a time.

as you already know the tool for managing kernels in Manjaro is called mhwd-kernel,:

There is now also a GUI Kernel tool in the Manjaro settings manager:
