My laptop (Ryzen 4700U) doesn't work with the 20.04 kernels because they don't have the required drivers, so I had to install a recent kernel-ppa/mainline. I tend to get and install the latest whenever I see an apt update fetching another 5.4 kernel, on the basis that there must be a security update in there. I'm currently on 5.10.5. This also involved disabling secure boot.
I gather that there is a "hwe" update available now, that includes a later (but nowhere near latest) kernel. I would like to try this out. However, this command lists 68 hwe packages that I could install:
apt search 'linux-*hwe-20.04*'
Is there any documentation on what hwe really is?
How can I tell which of these 68 packages I should install?
