    Maybe you can use the ubuntu's official kernel ppa to do this.
    See: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

    Download the dependent deb packages and install them.

    It might not stable and caused any problems. To use the kernel not in the official stable repositories is not recommend.

    Good luck.

    Hi,
    in order to update the kernel You just need to go to the following link and download some package:
    http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

    In my example I have installed the daily kernel update (in my case 3.16.0-999 at 64 bit).
    In order to install it you need to download:
    - linux-headers-3.16.0-999_3.16.SOME-OTHER-NUMBER_all.deb
    - linux-headers-3.16.0-999-generic_3.16.SOME-OTHER-NUMBER_amd64.deb
    - linux-image-3.16.0-999-generic_3.16.SOME-OTHER-NUMBER__amd64.deb

    It's important to install headers before installing the Kernel itself (image).

    I'm sorry, does Deepin Linux use the official Linux kernel?
    So if I upgrade to the last official stable there will be no problem right?

    Deepin is based on Ubuntu, and not modified the Ubuntu's kernel. If you want to upgrade the kernel, you can use this command "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade", and also deepin software center can do this. But it only update 3.13 kernel version, can't cross version.
    If you really want to use 3.14 or higher kernel version, you can download from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/.

    I mean update kernel not from the official repositories might caused any strange things. If the system works well, no need for you to update. But it's not absolutely, cross-version upgrade does not always lead to system instability.

    If You want I can help you to do it.

    I can confirm the procedure!
    You just need to go to the following link:
    http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
    I have tested the daily kernel update (in my case 3.16.0-999).
    In order to install it you need to download:
    - linux-headers-3.16.0-999_3.16.SOME-OTHER-NUMBER_all.deb
    - linux-headers-3.16.0-999-generic_3.16.SOME-OTHER-NUMBER_amd64.deb
    - linux-image-3.16.0-999-generic_3.16.SOME-OTHER-NUMBER__amd64.deb

    It's important to install headers before installing the Kernle itself (image).
    Thanks to all!
