Ubuntu 23.04 uses Linux Kernel 6.2 as the kernel
Ubuntu 23.04 is scheduled for release on April 20, 2023. It’s been confirmed that it uses Linux Kernel 6.2 as its kernel — a bit of a surprise, since many developers thought Canonical would stick with Linux Kernel 6.1.
After all, 6.1 officially became LTS last month, and the development team has been using it for testing.
Ideally, Linux Kernel 6.2 is already available for all flavors of the kernel, according to the Ubuntu Developers mailing list . However, for various reasons, this goal was not achieved.
In 23.04, right now they won’t be doing further 6.1 builds for any of the flavors, all are actively working on building 6.2.
There is also a problem, because regardless of whether a user intends to use 23.04, the kernel shipped in regular Ubuntu releases is usually backported to the latest LTS in the form of hardware enablement (HWE) updates.
The Linux 6.2 kernel contains many noteworthy new features, such as support for more new hardware, improved performance, enhanced file system, support for Raspberry Pi’s 4K @ 60Hz display, and more.
