I'm running Jammy LTS which came with 5.15.x kernel and I do run some tools that are dependent on kernel version. I see in jammy updates that there are also higher kernel versions available like 5.19.x or 6.2.x however these kernels are not listed as targeted for Jammy eg. on https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+publishinghistory.

I know I can install them and most likely they won't break anything but from the Canonical point of view if I'm on Jammy and I would need some support should I stay on kernels specifically released for Jammy (based on the information on launchpad) or I can use anything that is provided through jammy-updates?

    Does this answer your question? What is hardware enablement (HWE)? – muru Aug 04 '23 at 08:49

    IMO either would do. You need to decide that yourself. I would ditch any tool that requires a specific kernel and find equivalents that don't. Or code my own ;) Kernels are short lived. Our own software lasts a lot longer ;) – Rinzwind Aug 04 '23 at 09:20
  • "from the Canonical point of view..." None of us here work for Canonical Ltd. We are your peers -- fellow users who volunteer to help others. That's what "Community Support" means. – user535733 Aug 04 '23 at 19:59
  • @user535733 well I'm not native speaker and in my local language "the point of view of subject A" does not mean you have to be affiliated with subject A to provide some opinion on the matter, and of course nobody forces you to provide any answer, thats what I though "Community support" means ;) – Pavel Duda Dec 15 '23 at 18:22
  • @muru yeah it does to some extent, thanks. I'm sticking with listed kernels so far. – Pavel Duda Dec 15 '23 at 18:24
