Big changes in Ubuntu! Kernel upgrade, 'more aggressive' this time?

[ITBEAR] According to news on August 15, Canonical recently announced a major decision to adjust the kernel update strategy of the Ubuntu system and adopt a more active attitude to promote the update of the Linux kernel version. This means that future Ubuntu releases will keep up with the latest upstream kernel versions, even if they have not yet been officially released to stable versions.

According to ITBEAR, this strategy adjustment breaks Ubuntu’s previous release practices. Usually, Ubuntu distributions enter a kernel freeze state 2 months before the official version is released, which means that they often do not carry the latest Linux kernel version.

Canonical's Brett Grandbois explained that although the previous strategy could guarantee system stability on the designated release date, users expect to be able to use the latest features and hardware support brought by the new version of the kernel.

To meet this demand from users, Ubuntu will choose to adopt the latest upstream Linux kernel version during the kernel freeze period, even if the upstream version is still in Release Candidate (RC) status. This change will undoubtedly bring users a more cutting-edge technology experience and wider hardware compatibility. -->
