    They say no one is using these older LTS kernels, but I’m running into them all the time on Android devices. I don’t know if the vendors are taking advantage of those updates, but they’re definitely choosing the LTS kernels for their BSPs at release time.

        HWE is just a much newer upstream base. I’ve had issues with their HWE line (6.2 base) but then I’ve had issues with their Generic line (5.15 base) so while newer isn’t always better, older isn’t better either.
