Documentation is horribly insufficient in this regard. To quote the link given, "Ubuntu Desktop flavour now always tracks HWE kernel (hardware enablement). It means that from 20.04.2 release Ubuntu Desktop will gain new major kernel versions every 6 months through to summer of 2022".
The words "from 20.04.2 release Ubuntu Desktop will gain new major kernel versions every 6 months" speak volumes, sadly incorrect volumes. 20.04.2 is not even due for release until next month but we've been getting HWE kernel updates for a couple of weeks already! All of the following documentation needs serious updating and must include methods to remain on the GA kernel if one wishes: The first, also from the release notes, states clearly "Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is based on the long-term supported Linux release series 5.4": https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes#Updated_Packages None of these have been updated to adequately reflect the change to opt- out of HWE rather than opt-in if using original (20.04) or first point release (20.04.1) installation media as had always been the case previously. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/RollingLTSEnablementStack https://ubuntu.com/kernel/lifecycle -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1911614 Title: Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.04.1 images use linux-generic-hwe-20.04 instead of linux-generic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-meta/+bug/1911614/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
