knaccc_hey all, I read that Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS is supposed to come with Linux kernel 6.2. When I do lsb_release -a it says "Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS", but when I do uname -r it says "5.15.0-89-generic". Do I need to do something special to get kernel 6.2?07:07
knaccc_perhaps it's a risk to use kernel 6.2, which is why it didn't happen automatically during an "apt upgrade"?07:09

knacccyikes, looks like some people say 6.2 broke their system. I guess I'm playing with fire here. https://www.reddit.com/r/ubuntuserver/comments/15oo521/no_kernel_62_update_for_ubuntu_2204_lts/07:13
JanCknaccc: LTS releases can use either the kernel version that it was originally released with (5.15 in case of Ubuntu 22.04) or a HWE ("HardWare Enablement") kernel backported from newer releases (currently 6.2); for the latter you need to install 'linux-generic-hwe-22.04'07:17
JanCobviously, both have their advantages & disadvantages07:19
knacccJanC aha, thanks! would you recommend HWE if the server is <2 years old?07:19
JanCfancy new hardware/features might not work with the older kernel, but newer kernels can also contain new bugs...07:20
JanCit's something you have to decide yourself what is more important07:20
knacccJanC ok, thanks, at least I know nothing is wrong with "apt upgrade" on the system. I'll play it safe07:21
JanCif everything works with the old kernel, and you care a lot about stability, there is no reason to upgrade07:21
knacccyeah stability is the #1 priority07:22
knacccgreat, thanks for taking the time to explain07:22
