Regarding #28

"on 20.04 LTS and v5.6 is not working properly with WiFi."

When I first tested Kernel 5.6 branch, the WiFi was broken because of this:
https://linuxreviews.org/Linux_5.6.2_Is_Released_With_Intel_Wifi_Fix

Now it is working again with the current 5.6 branch.

Kernel 5.5 is now EOL (as of 5.5.19 end of April)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel_version_history#Releases_5.x.y

Intel should do better QA for their iGPU and WiFi 
and try to port it to all stable LTS branches aka 5.4.x and 5.6.x

If you still have issues with Intel i915 on 5.4.x, you can use
the following one-liner to install 5.6.x

which curl >/dev/null 2>&1 || sudo apt-get install -qq -y curl; for
version in $(curl -sL https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ |
tac | grep -Pom1 '(?<=")v5\.6\.[0-9]+/'); do for deb in $(curl -sL
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/${version} | grep -Pom4
'(?<=")linux-(headers|image-
unsigned|modules)-5\.6\.[^"]+[0-9]+(-generic_5\.6\.|_5\.6\.)[^"]+.(amd64|all)\.deb');
do curl -sLo ${deb} https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/${version}/${deb}; debs="${debs} ${deb}"; done; sudo dpkg
-i ${debs}; done

If you need to go back to legacy Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Kernel and remove
Linux Kernel 5.5 and 5.6

dpkg --get-selections | awk '/linux-.*-5\.[5-6]/ { print $1 }' | xargs
echo sudo apt-get purge -y
