Kernel 5.9-rc4 is available. I have only been running it for a short time, so far.

Just installed rc4 and the resolution with my Nvidia card is too small about 640x480.

$ uname -a
Linux Groovy 5.9.0-050900rc4-generic #202009070130 SMP Mon Sep 7 01:35:52 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

So, back on

$ uname -r
5.8.0-18-generic

Perhaps the next rc version...

@DougS

That was a really nice reply. Thanks for taking the time to explain all of that stuff.

Was having some trouble getting the 5.9 kernel installed with my Nvidia GTX970 card. Was using the Nvidia 450 driver and just today noticed there was a 455 driver available, so installed the newer driver and then tried the 5.9 kernel again ... This time it installed with no errors and is running great!

Yes. Pity Groovy's "Kernel Freeze" was last Thursday, meaning it won't ship with 5.9 by default.
