Following my previous post: How do i make my Intel GPU (9a78 rev 01) compatible
I decided to create a different post since it got a different plot twist. It started with my machine not knowing about my GPU and I got to understand that my kernel isn't updated. The thing is - I upgraded my machine in the past from 20.04 to 22.04, and I want to believe that the kernel get's update too (?), but seems like the kernel didn't upgrade? or got downgraded?

Checking for a new Ubuntu release
There is no development version of an LTS available.
To upgrade to the latest non-LTS development release
set Prompt=normal in /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades.

trying to follow: https://itslinuxfoss.com/check-update-ubuntu-kernel-version-ubuntu-22-04/ There's a list of kernels which I don't know which is the most recent stable: https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
What are the best practices or your routines to automatically check for STABLE updates and upgrades (OS, kernel, packages, other[?])
I usually use:
sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade; sudo apt dist-upgrade
but apparently this isn't enough, and i want to add to it some more. Are there any more automated safe ways to do that? Please help me understand the concept of all of this?
sudo apt update
before trying to upgrade?5.15
, but not exactly same. And there is no 22.04.5 yet ;-)
