How to Install HWE Kernel on Ubuntu 20.04
The Ubuntu LTS enablement (also called HWE or Hardware Enablement) stacks provide newer kernel and X support for existing Ubuntu LTS releases. These enablement stacks can be installed manually but are also available when installing with Ubuntu LTS point release media. These newer enablement stacks are meant for desktop and server and even recommended for cloud or virtual images.
To check the Kernel version.
root@server1:~# uname -r 5.4.0-110-genericInstall the Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE)
Install the HWE by running the following command.
apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-20.04root@server1:~# apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-20.04 Reading package lists. Done Building dependency tree Reading state information. Done The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: libfwupdplugin1 Use 'apt autoremove' to remove it.

root@server1:~# uname -r 5.13.0-41-genericUbuntu kernel lifecycle and enablement stack
The Ubuntu LTS enablement, or Hardware Enablement (HWE), stack provides the newer kernel and X support for existing Ubuntu LTS releases. That stack can be enabled manually, but may also be pre-enabled with an Ubuntu LTS release.
The HWE stack can be used by desktop and server systems, as well as cloud or virtual images.
Installation
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS — Trusty Tahr
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-xenial libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-xenialsudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenialThe 14.04.2 and newer point releases ship with an updated kernel and X stack by default. If you have installed with older media, you can use these instructions to install the newer HWE kernel derived from 16.04 (Xenial).
If you run a multiarch desktop (for example, i386 and amd64 on amd64, for gaming or Wine), you may find you need a slightly more involved command:
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-core-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-video-all-lts-xenial xserver-xorg-input-all-lts-xenial libwayland-egl1-mesa-lts-xenial libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-xenial libgl1-mesa-glx-lts-xenial:i386 libglapi-mesa-lts-xenial:i386Ubuntu 16.04 LTS — Xenial Xerus
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-16.04sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-16.04The 16.04.2 and newer point releases ship with an updated kernel and X stack by default for the desktop. Server installations default to the GA kernel and provide the enablement kernel as optional.The 16.04 HWE stacks follow the Rolling Update Model.
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS — Bionic Beaver
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04The 18.04.2 and newer point releases will ship with an updated kernel and X stack by default for the desktop. Server installations will default to the GA kernel and provide the enablement kernel as optional.
The 18.04 HWE stacks follow the Rolling Update Model.
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS — Focal Fossa
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-20.04sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-20.04Desktop installations of 20.04 default to tracking the HWE stack. Server installations will default to the GA kernel and provide the enablement kernel as optional.
Note that certain desktop machines may be on a separate «OEM» track. To determine if the machine is eligible for this, run the command ubuntu-drivers list-oem from a terminal. If this is non-empty, the machine is running the OEM cadence instead of HWE.
The 20.04 HWE stack follows the Rolling Update Model.
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS — Jammy Jellyfish
sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-22.04sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-22.04Desktop installations of 22.04 default to tracking the HWE stack. Server installations will default to the GA kernel and provide the enablement kernel as optional.
Note that certain desktop machines may be on a separate “OEM” track. To determine if the machine is eligible for this, run the command ubuntu-drivers list-oem from a terminal. If this is non-empty, the machine is running the OEM cadence instead of HWE.
The 22.04 HWE stack follows the Rolling Update Model.
