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

You can begin doing this after the first point release.

  • The first release is YY.04 LTS
  • The second one or first point release is YY.04.1
  • The third one follows.


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
