Sparkling fresh updates to Ubuntu, Mint and Zorin on way
It seems to be kernel update season out there. The current Ubuntu LTS gets a new kernel, Zorin OS 17 gets a new point release – and Mint announces two updated editions, coming really soon now.
It is very nearly one year since Ubuntu 22.04.1 was released, and as long term support versions get semiannual updates, release 22.04.3 is expected any day. Once the next Ubuntu interim release appears, it's normal for the following minor–point-release of the LTS to get a new kernel. So, six months after 22.04.1 and four months after 22.10 "Kinetic Kudu", the next point-version of Jammy, Ubuntu 22.04.2, duly delivered kernel 5.19.
So, with 23.04 "Lunar Lobster" out for four months and proving fairly stable on The Reg FOSS Desk's kit, we were expecting 22.04.3 any day now, including a second Hardware Enablement update, including the kernel from Lunar.
