I'm in the mood to break things.

Current system: 

Linux Kublai-1888 4.18.0-13-generic #14-Ubuntu SMP Wed Dec 5 09:04:24 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I didn't even know 5 existed! Are there any benefits I should be aware about? I'm going to uninstall my graphics drivers beforehand since it'll probably break. Wish me luck! If you've got a way to reinstall pip2/pip3 with proper metadata + $PATH + so it's not broken I'd like that too.

Reference materials I will use:

Reinstalling CUDA, which I use to enhance my gfx performance

Info on different types of kernels

Kernel sources

Official docs on Nvidia headers and making sure you don't screw yourself

More of the above, but Github guy, so you can trust it more

After installing a mainline Linux kernel such as version 5 you can still reboot and select the previous version.

At the Grub menu select Advanced Options. A sub menu appears showing all your previously installed kernels that have not been auto removed or manually removed.

Everything went fine. It's always good to uninstall everything before upgrading.
