The easiest way to install a newer kernel in Debian, is to install it from the backports. In order to install a kernel from the backports, we need to add the backports-repository for your Debian version to the apt-sources and update the list of available packages:

Add following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main 
sudo apt-get update              

Now you can search for kernels:

aptitude search linux-image

At this point, you can either install a specific version manually or choose to go for the latest release. To install the latest release, including necessary dependencies:

sudo apt -t buster-backports upgrade
