I have a similar question. 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 seciruty update in there. I'm currently on 5.10.5. This also involved disabling secure boot.
I gather that there may now be linux-generic-hwe-20.04 and linux-generic-hwe-20.04-edge package that could be installed. Apparently, these install kernel 5.8.0. Is there any more information on these anywhere? I haven't seen any announcements, let alone advice on which of the two is recommended under what circumstances.
