METHOD 1:
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 bullseye-backports main
sudo apt-get update
Now you can search for kernels:
sudo apt 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 bullseye-backports upgrade
After the upgrade, you can simply perform a reboot and the new kernel should be activated as the new default.
uname -r
METHOD 2:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
Add following to sources.list:
echo "deb http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
echo "deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
