I have 20.04.6 LTS installed on my rather old laptop MSI GP70-2PE (GP702PE-426XUA)

uname -a
Linux master-at-home 5.15.0-53-generic #59~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 20 15:10:22 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
lsb_release -d; uname -r; uname -i
Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
5.15.0-53-generic
x86_64

I see in hard info :

    FYI: The 5.15 kernel is the GA kernel stack for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, so you're already seeing how that works on your hardware (your 20.04 system is currently using the HWE kernel stack). Whilst Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Desktop media defaults to HWE (thus currently the 6.2 kernel), GA kernel stack ISO/media is available; though kernel stacks can be changed post-install. FYI: I'm running a QA-test install on a box from 2005 now, and using a Ubuntu flavor of mantic (what will be 23.10 on release!) – guiverc Sep 26 '23 at 08:44

Not too old. But it won't hurt if you test Ubuntu 22.04 in a live environment loaded from a USB stick
