Ubuntu LTS Users Could Get Intel GPU Updates More Frequently

This week sees the (belated) release of Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS, the first point release update in the noble series to deliver an updated hardware enablement (HWE) stack. Ubuntu’s HWE backports newer Linux kernel and Mesa GPU drivers to LTS users in an effort to ensure the latest LTS works well with the latest hardware. But it could soon include a lot more. This week, Canonical engineer Shane McKee put forward a proposal to expand Ubuntu HWE updates so they loop in a broader range of graphics driver packages for Intel hardware. —the entire point of the HWE, after all.

Ubuntu 22.04 Users Can Now Upgrade to Linux Kernel 6.5

You can now upgrade to Linux kernel 6.5 in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS — no PPAs, additional repos, or edge packages required. Ubuntu routinely back-ports newer Linux kernels from “interim” releases to its latest long-term support release. The Linux 6.5 kernel from Ubuntu 23.10, released back in October, is the latest version to get the treatment. Now, this major kernel update affects the standard hardware-enablement (HWE) kernel only. It will not replace the standard GA kernel Ubuntu 22.04 LTS originally came with. If you’ve chosen to stick with Linux 5.15 because it works best then don’t fret: it ain’t going away.

The Linux Mint project has released two new versions: Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 (LMDE 6) and Linux Mint 21.2 Edge. LMDE 6 is based on Debian 12 "Bookworm" and is designed to be more user-friendly for Mint users who may not be as technically skilled as Debian users. Linux Mint 21.2 Edge is based on Ubuntu 22.04 "Jammy Jellyish" and includes updated hardware enablement (HWE) support with a newer kernel. Both editions come with the Cinnamon desktop environment and offer a familiar Mint experience. Users can upgrade to the Edge edition without reinstalling by installing the updated HWE stack from Ubuntu's repositories.

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Users Can Now Upgrade to Linux Kernel 6.2

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS users can now upgrade to Linux kernel 6.2 using the Software Updater tool. Ahead of the formal Ubuntu 22.04.3 point release due next week (August 10) Canonical has issued an updated kernel to existing LTS existing users to install. It back-ports the Linux 6.2 kernel used in Ubuntu 23.04 “Lunar Lobster”. Typically, HWE updates roll out once the formal point release itself is made. This time the update has arrived earlier – which is great news for those already on the LTS as it means they can benefit from all the new features in Linux 6.2 without
