Probably not the best place to ask this question but I'm very curious about the
recent kernel version bump from 5.4 to 5.8 in Focal. I was under the impression
that 5.4 would be supported throughout the 5 year life span of Focal as long as
either 20.04 or 20.04.1 media was used for installation. Seems like that had
been the plan:
https://ubuntu.com/kernel/lifecycle
Even though I encountered some Broadcom wifi problems with the two 5.8 updates
in the past four days that was easily sorted. My primary concern is what the
plan is for Focal going forward. Will installations performed with 20.04 and
20.04.1 media now remain on kernel version 5.8 for the duration, or are all
Focal installs now subject to HWE protocols.
Thanks in advance,
Erick "Lance" Brunzell
