[12:08] <Rhonda> How does kernel updates in Ubuntu work?  Is there something like an official supported repository for newer kernel versions for the LTS releases?
[12:09] <Rhonda> I'm trying to look through the wiki but don't really find something. Found the PPA of the canonical kernel team, but that speaks clearly about pre-releases and test kernels and discourages usage.
[12:10] <RikMills> Rhonda: yeah, the ppa is meant for end users
[12:10] <RikMills> see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack
[12:16] <Rhonda> RikMills: From what I get through there would be the 4.15 hwe kernel, though because of feature requirements I'd need the 5.4 which seems to be only in the focal part of that PPA.  So I guess for 18.04 there won't be (semi) official newer kernels?
[12:18] <RikMills> the hwe kernel in bionic is currently 5.3
[12:22] <RikMills> 5.4 is only in 20.04 focal. that would likely be made the hwe one in bionic for 18.04.5
