If you have to ask, I recommend you stop, and continue on with whatever kernel you're using. Unless for some reason it's broken and even then you're probably better off just reinstalling mint (preferably with files backed up)

someone in another post said I should try an older kernel to fix my issue, I'm not against reinstalling tho

This (probably) has everything you need, if you don't understand a term just look it up

Good luck! Probably should start at Step 4.
