FYI: 5.3 hwe kernel for legacy, apppack, 5.0, etc
by enigma9o7 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#51D6Y)
I installed the bodhi 5.1 iso release with 5.3 hwe kernel on my 64-bit machines, but my 32-bit machine was feeling left out with its 4.9 kernel. Then I realized there may be apppack users, or those who just updated normally from Bodhi 5.0, who feel left out too.
So, fyi, if you want to upgrade to the 5.3-hwe kernel, just execute this:
Code:sudo apt install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-18.04 xserver-xorg-hwe-18.04So far I don't know any downsides, if it runs my my 15-year old Pentium 4 & Althon 64, I doubt there's much potential for issues, even on older machines. But don't worry, it keeps linux 4.9 in your grub menu so you can boot that still if it does turn out to have issues.
