This is how to get the latest compatible kernel
This is almost never really necessary.
It only helps when you have new high powered equipment and an older Operating System
If you want to use the LTS hardware enablement stack on Ubuntu 18.04 (desktop), you can install it using (this always install the latest HWE, version 18.04.3 right now):
sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04
On Ubuntu 18.04 server only install the hardware enablement stack kernel package:
sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04
Reboot your system after the installation is completed.
If you want to check the date until your system is supported by Canonical, and see if you have a hardware enablement stack installed, you can use this command:
hwe-support-status --verbose
