| 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 |

| knaccc | yikes, 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 |
| JanC | knaccc: 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 |
| JanC | obviously, both have their advantages & disadvantages | 07:19 |
| knaccc | JanC aha, thanks! would you recommend HWE if the server is <2 years old? | 07:19 |
| JanC | fancy new hardware/features might not work with the older kernel, but newer kernels can also contain new bugs... | 07:20 |
| JanC | it's something you have to decide yourself what is more important | 07:20 |
| knaccc | JanC ok, thanks, at least I know nothing is wrong with "apt upgrade" on the system. I'll play it safe | 07:21 |
| JanC | if everything works with the old kernel, and you care a lot about stability, there is no reason to upgrade | 07:21 |
| knaccc | yeah stability is the #1 priority | 07:22 |
| knaccc | great, thanks for taking the time to explain | 07:22 |
