Hi the Community,
Please, now Is there a simple reliable procedure to change the kernel ?
System AMD FX8350 - Geforce 1650 - MSI 990XFA 32Go - KDE Plasma
Thanks a lot.

Enter
sudo mhwd-kernel --list
to list available kernels.
Use follwing command to install:
sudo mhwd-kernel --install <linuxXXX>
Of course, <linuxXXX> to be replaced with the kernel you like to install.
After re-booting into the new kernel, you can remove the old one:
sudo mhwd-kernel -r <linuxYYY>
<linuxYYY> to be replaced by the name of the old kernel package.
Or you use the GUI tool designated for kernels.

Ok,
This is precisely the question of " where the GUI now sits, which was formerly located in the “system configuration …”
Just look for “Manjaro Settings Manager” in your application launcher. Or from a terminal, to go straight to the Kernels section:
manjaro-settings-manager -m msm_kernel

Ho! that’s right; the GUI was also accessible at this place.
Sorry for the bad question; but it was very good answers.
Thanks to all 2. See you later.

Good questions are best;
it saves others from wasting their efforts.
Hi there. One of the advantages of Manjaro is that you can have back-up kernels installed. I would therefore suggest that you have at least one long-term support (LTS) kernel installed. In the unlikely event that your kernel has an issue, you can simply reboot & select the alternate one.
As the saying goes, better to have a spare kernel and not need it than need one and not have it. Just my six eggs worth.
All the best,
R
