However, as an LTS (Long Term Support) release of Ubuntu, we push out HWE (Hardware Enablement Stack) updates periodically. These include newer kernels, which have been backported from later versions of Ubuntu. This is so people can stick with 14.04 but install it on newer hardware, which may have devices only supported in newer kernels. So yes, you're correct that 4.4 is the current kernel. This wiki page has some nice details and a pretty picture showing the supported releases. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack#Kernel.2FSupport.A14.04.x_Ubuntu_Kernel_Support Hope that helps.
